All good points & welcome to the fray!
What I hear you saying is that the airframe manufacturer and the FAA will certify the max gross weight of an airframe, and the airline will dictate by market how many seats to put in the tube.
Seems like a no-brainer to tie pay to the maximum certified instead of what airline marketing thinks the market will yield. In other words, don't allow the airline to present a moving target to labor with respect to pay.
