I can empathise with everything stated by the thread starter. Same all over the uncivilized world, as far as I am concerned.
These people are very short sighted. They know just enough about aviation to be dangerous.
An unhappy pilot is possibly not as safe as a happy pilot. If a pilot has problems on his/her mind, they havent got their minds completely on the job.
Pilots and engineers still are, in my view, a companies greatest asset apart from their aircraft.
If they think looking after crews is not a priority, possibly ignoring safety, then wait until there is a prang (God forbid) then they will know what is expensive and an important issue.
