That would give pilots leverage when this pandemic is over to get more days off each month.

We understand that airlines are in uncharted territory right now,
Stop excusing their behavior. You said it yourself: “this is uncharted territory”. We know this is not normal. They know it’s not normal. Less jets in the air means less people coming to work. More jets in the air means more people coming to work.
