Because: We work in one of the very few professions of extremely specialized, experienced and valuable employees who cannot just f*** off to better conditions, and our pay and career paths are based on that fact.
We already did f*** off from all our previous jobs and armed forces, one after another for up to 20 years, to finally end up here, the end of the chain of jobs at the top of the pile, among the jobs as good pilot jobs get, and now we have to keep these conditions as good as possible and keep trying to improve them.
