Yes, I'm sure you're right. Public support is a good motivator, but we as a professional group still need to excercise our right to normal terms of employment. If the pilots in Norwegian were to stike, they would have far more support than what pilots in SAS would receive, but public support doesn't affect the companies much anyway. The general public chooses with their wallets, and tragically it has become our own responsibility to defend the safety principles this profession is built upon. When we all demand normal terms of employment, everyone plays by the same rules. It doesn't matter if this increases ticket prices slightly, because they are increased on equal terms for every operator.
