I'm with ya, but I've flown with more than a few who count on hitting the WS PU limit in vacation months.

He's just asking why it doesn't count toward the WS PU limit as well.
Another great reason to bid a line during vacation months is to have minimal commitment during the month. If you're looking to actually take a long of a vacation, this is a great way of doing it.

I would much rather fly a 24 hour 4 day trip than a 21 hour 4 day.
They can try to optimize it as much as they can to get it to 24hrs of block, but with EDP/SIT etc, I think those trops would end up paying much more that 6 hours per day.
I'd want to see what Carmen kicks out before we agreed to a drastic daily increase.
