I agree, there's much less you can creatively do in a single base very small category like the 744 & 777... (although I was a 777B for 3yrs and used the contract in different ways for maximum effect).
Since there's about 800 total pilots in those categories, I'm not interested in major changes that, IMHO, will negatively impact the potential for 11,200 other pilots.
All I'm saying is, know and use one's contract before advocating major changes.
