Most NJA pilots are nowhere near 1000/yr. Most, including myself, are around 400-500/yr. There is plenty of time to do "extra" flying, but there are some other things to consider. After 7 days on the road, the last thing I want is an extra trip. I can also make more flying an extra day for NJA than most contract jobs are willing to pay. I have a wife and family and rather spend the "off" time with them. I also fly SELs for fun occasionally.
