Plenty of people don't want to work 6-7 day trips on a line. There are ways around that, but not straight off the bat and need some luck to make it happen.
I know it's anecdotal but I have flown with quite a few burned out NBA's in the 25%-50% seniority range who feel that with the new rates they are willing to take the hit monetarily for the QoL and want to go WBB ASAP. Most feel they can make up the difference with the occasional GS.
