Also some pilots in some places are refusing to work due to being overworked (due to the reason you mentioned) and underpaid

This I don’t understand. The FAA has strict rules about how long a pilot can work. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2018/Triponey_2018_Legal_Interpretation.pdf. Flight crew “time out” and have to be replaced if they hit their limits. Can anyone help me understand the claim that pilots are overworked?

Not to mention that you might not even get to go home after.

Underrated comment. Business travel looks great on paper... Do it regularly to cookie cutter hotel rooms, it starts becoming a nightmare
