Agreed. There is only one way to fight bean-counters, by making their business model unprofitable.
You could start with this...
Pilots involved in P2F should not be called professional pilots, because the definition of professional is being paid to do a job (in your profession)..."not paying to do your job"!
During in-flight introductions they should be introduced as such. ie... cadet pilot, amateur pilot, or pilot in training.
I think the PAX have a right to know, and just maybe, just maybe it might raise some eyebrows. Or make some feel uneasy, and choose another airline next time.
A better definition for professionalism is not what you get paid.....it is about how you conduct yourself.
