I only have 80 hours this month." The days of everyone making the same amount of money, 70 hours per month, sure would be nice.
Different strokes for different folks. I won't knock the pilot that could care less about passing up $3000+ GS because he's out fishing and won't knock the pilot hustling for 150+ credit each month. 13,000 different pilots, 13,000 different motivations.
