That's an interesting point of view, but can you back it up with evidence.
Certainly in the post war years, terms and conditions were excellent and the vast majority of pilots were ex mil.
The terms and conditions have steadily eroded since then and correlate with the relative reduction of ex mil pilots.
This is only a correlation which does not prove causation, but surely if you were correct the unions would be getting ever stronger as the weak minded pack animal ex mil were weeded out?
