I’ve also seen some insane time cards from 23M7 farmers. They are paying, and with the automation the payments won’t slip through the cracks.
Are these insane time cards from 23M7 farmers getting paid for WS above the WS pickup limit?

The real question I'm driving at is, under the current system, are the WS "farmers" actually getting paid above their WS pickup limit via 23M7?
Because if so, this MOU, in its attempt to curtail these types of 23M7 payments (in excess of WS pickup limit) and force automation/accountability to enforce the WS pickup limit, is a win.
To put it another way, if currently a single pilot or just a few pilots are amassing WS 23M7 payments beyond their pickup limit, than enforcing the limit (which the MOU intends to do) isn't just a financial penalty to the company. It means excess use of 23M7 is finally (correctly) timing-out pilots (via the WS pickup limit), spreading the payments down the list, and making fewer pilots available to WS. That's all net gain for the pilot group as a whole, and furthers our leverage against abuse of 23M7.
