Forgive my ignorance but aren't the Jq a320 captains that promoted themselves to the 330 in Singapore on an hourly rate with a guaranteed minimum 600 hours/ year?
I trust they incur the same wrath your new joiners receive.

Good point!
They are turning widebody airline flying into GA. With the excuse that they are just getting the experience to move on elsewhere.
But guess what. The market adjusts. The sort after airlines lower their COS's in appreciation of what these pilots are doing.
A few do OK but the whole picture changes for everyone else. You end up with, regionally in the case of the JQ Singaporian pilots, a scenario similar to what is happening in Australia.
Perhaps it is these pilots who should be "banned" or cop our professional wrath. The ones who create the true momentum for management to exploit conditions.
