It would take one day to solve your problems if you all had balls to coordinate, park the planes and show the finger. Lets say a thousand pilot...what will they do fire you all, arrest you all?
The answer to your question is YES.

If a thousand pilots coordinated, refused to work and then showed them the finger they would all certainly be fired, face prosecution, likely be fined, possibly jailed and definitely deported.

This place may look first world but scratch a little and below the surface some aspects can be very third world, the legal system being one of them. Many expats here have found this out after being injured, raped, robbed or even questioning the system. There are different rules for different folks. It depends where you are in the food chain. There are some shocking cases of injustice, and some expats have discovered this too late.

With a high profile demonstration like pilots downing tools, the authorities would take very severe action. It is no longer about the airline. It becomes about the whole country and to avoid anyone else getting ideas the consequences would be severe.

In fact a far less radical solution would probably be effective. If only 10-20% of our pilots simply had the stones to write to their managers in the nicest possible way, with examples, the obviously glaring disparities and inadequacies of the system, things would change. They have before.

Unfortunately most suffer from a persecution complex, and are too apathetic, too cowardly or too stupid to do so. These qualities ensure the status quo.
