supply and demand curves
It is probably quite simple - market forces SUPPLY & DEMAND. In essence, it is what the employer believes he can get away with.
You are correct in thinking that if nobody accepted the scheme, the employer would have to think again.
Human nature being what it is, and the sluggish demand due to world events, and with the supply side very keen to continue with their progress, notwithstanding the less than ideal conditions available on offer.
It is the desire of having the 737 type rating which is driving the process. Emirates next in their sights, with 1000+ hours jet time ?
Long term is it a price worth paying? I think a number will say YES.
It all comes down to market forces.
