"Insistence on applying the relevant legislation correctly shouldn't be career limiting ordinarily, but unfortunately in the current climate, and with the attitude of some employers, to question is akin to (career) suicide.....i'm not defending the rogue employers, Dried Ears, merely stating what i believe might be true if you push too hard....sad, but true.....thankfully these employers are in a minority for sure."
This attitude, outside the heavy union/employer relationship of the legacy carriers, is exactly why the poorer levels of the profession is so far down the toilet. The less you challenge the abuse of legislation the further in the poo you will sink. The pax, however, expect the same standard from all. How ignorant and naive are they? Only if you tell them and try to protect them and your self. The profession has been diluted so much in y career I would not let my children even consider it with out a firm position in a legacy carrier. The rest are going to the dogs very fast.
