I did act myself. I was asked to train years ago and I could not bring myself to VOLUNTEER for the position and bring myself to train 'el cheapo' pilots who would eventually be in the majority of the pilot group and drag down my own contract.
Regarding the recruitment ban. I am well aware of the morality arguments involved and there are arguments for and against. However, since the last one, jobs with other airlines are far more plentiful. We are fighting to protect our own position, not those of wannabes. It could be argued that the new joiners' conditions are such crap that a recruitment ban would be doing them a favour anyway.
For what it's worth, the last recruitment ban got mangement's (sic) attention far more than any angry letter from the trainers. Little Ken, the DFO of the time, never shut up about it. They squealed like stuck pigs.
