Guess what happened? They disappeared and got embedded into trips afterwards.

Same will happen to 10 hour days, you'll just end up working more days on. Everyone thinks they can outsmart the company, typical pilot mentality "I know everything". No, you don't know what you don't know. So yes, in this case you are the idiot.

I guess as a plus reserve will go senior and all the juniors can have the crappy lines lol. So, win?
