I’ve no kidding had a captain say to me “it’s up to the FOs to get us a contract, I’ve done enough sacrificing in my career”

I have heard of a noticeable uptick in blocked calendars from pilots picking up trips. Some of the reserve guys watch the open time trips to see if they can expect a call and more often then not there are blockers picking up draft. We used to say there are many reasons to block and it is 100% a personal right afforded by the company to each employee. We used to say those reasons were not because they were hiding their workload. What do we say now?
