Yeah, the intent (as explained to us) with the 14-day line bids being offered was absolutely not to reduce flying for anyone wanting to work. Seemed that the offering of standardized bids made line creation easier for our lone planner, and with NavBlue functionality it was "notably easier" to add flights to willing pilots in order to keep the previous 7/7, 8/6, 4/3 cadence which seems to be popular -VS- having to custom pare down larger lines that would have resembled typical random regional lines (no 7/7, 8/6, etc). I came away with the feeling like the company was trying their best to keep QoL fair and a priority across a rapidly expanding pilot corps in anticipation for a huge increase in ops.

IMO, all new system transitions (especially with complex issues such as scheduling) have significant early implementation obstacles. Best to wait and see how things iron out after a month or two before assuming the sky is falling. Most working here stan the company because they have a focus on pilot QoL, benefits, and customer experience. I give them the benefit of the doubt ~
