For some reason, pilots don't think of the consequences of everyone flying max schedules. It requires less pilots which means everyone is on lesser paying equipment working more for less money.
Exactly! Just one simple change in the current contract could add 800 to 1000 pilots to the list. Vacation changed from pay only to pay and credit.
