It sounds nice saying "we all look out for each other" when it comes to opentime. Actions say otherwise. I've never heard a pilot say I'm going to keep my crappy trip instead of swapping it out for a better one. Every pilot is out there trying to better their schedule. Unless you're #1.
With that being said, yes I agree it should be an even playing field. But many have to realize, some are just faster than others.
