The problem isn't unethical Pilots the problem is unethical management. No Pilot in their right mind who has been through this before and burned wants to be burned again.
Like I have said before and will repeat ad nauseam - If we had a Herb Kelleher type CEO, I would be all over it.

Unfortunately, this sums it up perfectly. I wasn't around for the past, but I'm familiar with it. I was however here to see the SIL's promised and subsequently yanked away so I fully understand the distrust. This is not a problem of pilot's unwilling to negotiate. This is a problem that management created a long time ago. They planted the seed of distrust, and now it's grown into a massive tree that they're trying to pretend doesn't exist. It's very difficult to come back from that...That whole 'fool me once thing.'
