Much of the orgins of the PWA is designed to help pilots from ruining QOL for themselves. Not working on vacations, limiting straight open time pickups, etc. These are all features that have been put in to help pilots control themselves.

Im sure the company would love to eradicate all of these features and let us hoor ourselves out as much as possible, reduces headcount, leaves the "slackers" behind. Be careful of the world you create for yourself. Previous generations weren't idiots, they just had insight into human nature and trying to create a sustainable QOL along with good pay.
