Pilots have no leverage. Kids fucking love flying planes and more pursue the career than there are jobs due to passion. Thus the job pays shit. If they quit they'll be easily replaced.
Autopilot is also a thing. Planes can fly themselves, including takeoff and landing. No airline wants the bad press of a mishap but the software is getting better and an opportunity might trigger a switch.

Yeah.. Ask Boeing how their auto pilot worked recently. Auto pilot systems are more and more capable, but computer have glitches and bugs.
Its easy to forget how dangerous Aviation is with the computer systems assisting, but if a plane loses power all you have left is stick and rudder.
If the plane is fly by wire, and it loses power.. you are fucked.
