I agree. But how do you want to explain that to a pilot at FR? The guy has a contract with one of those filthy agencies, and he doesn't get paid when he is sick. And we booth know that there are more companies like FR out there.
16 years ago a german electronic store created the marketing slogan "meanness is cool". And that's the way how people in our days purchase their tickets. As long as people are able to puchase a ticket from point X to spain for 50€ or less, nothing will change.
