EGCC - I agree with your every word. The poor souls who elect to accept the shafting offered to them by Easyjet/Flexicrew/Ryanair in anticipation of a move some years later to a better employer are in for a rude awakening. Those employers won't be there for them any more. In the face of competition from Ryanair and Easyjet (whose low cost business model moves expenses onto their employees who appear to willingly accept this) these decent Companies will have either adopted the same practices or have gone bust.
These unthinking people are pulling the rug out from beneath their own feet.
The only possible solution is for them to act collectively to raise their own terms and conditions but they don't seem able to get their ducks in a row. Too busy dreaming about aeroplanes and too self-centred to organise themselves.
They just can't see it.
