What little open time there was wouldn't make it past WS, and reserves would be called out for random events and pilots on recovery would soak up the rest. Everyone would be flying right at the ALV or less.
Believe me, we've been there, and there would be howls from the crowd here and everyone else who runs around with a bucket catching free money.
