The difference is that a lot of cabin crew see their jobs as temporary (just look at the BC turn over rate) where as this is still a career for pilots. They've got much less to lose
Even more reason for us to fight back, I think you might have gotten it backwards there.
If you are looking at a job as a potential career, then you are the one with lots to lose when you allow it to deteriorate and go pear-shaped. If you look at a job as temporary, then why would you even care about the conditions - you would simply just move on when it got intolerable.
And if you think CC look at this as "temporary", you are sorely mistaken or don't work for CX. You know the seniority required to make ISM or even SP?
You must stop justifying inaction. It is catching up to you quicker than you can see.
