A nice thought but with one serious flaw. There is no "we". Pilots are not some happy band of brothers, not all members of some secretive sect, not members of one single association. We are individuals who make individual choices based on our own positions and circumstances.
The problem with anyone turning down a job they would otherwise take is that they know it is not "we" turning it down, it is just "me", and there is someone else in line who will probably grab it with open arms.
Collective barganing only works when you have a collective.
