I get how the current system is a cost saving feature for the company. That was my point about OOBWS over GS reducing the aggregate value of the PWA. I won't begrudge anyone exercising a contractual right, but I have also politely shared my viewpoint face to face on the matter. No drama ensued much to the disappointment of those who think such a conversation demands a verbal assault and a call to pro stans.
