My 2¢
If you look at it as a problem, then my issue is I always try to look at the root cause.
I think the best thing pilots can do is to convene wherever possible, (APC forums), and discuss things, get our values, standards, goals, and such together- at least discuss them, THEN we can go and stand our ground as a GROUP. When we get separated, and some of us stand our ground when it is necessary, then we get screwed for standing for what is right. Even if we didn't convene, but simply all decided to be more firm, and active in the matters of the industry I think we would all be on the same page anyway! I also think the main problem lies in the fact that in today's society money and personal gain is more important than values and honor..
