If you wanna fix the problem, eliminate the incentive.
Level 1 trip drop per PCS run per pilot
Level 1 Silver slip per PCS run per pilot
Treat OOBWS like a QS (1 AA window for all pilots with slips)
Senior gets first dibs at whatever they want through seniority but they don't get a complete monopoly over blue days, silvers and emptying their entire schedule to play Farming Simulator.
God forbid you're not the harmed pilot because you have to ...
*Checks notes*
...fly what you bid for 😯

I’m firmly against watering down seniority any more than we already have. Aside from those at the very bottom of the list, most pilots here have quite a bit of control over their relative seniority.

That's what seniority is all about. As said above, if we didn't have this, you likely wouldn't have been able to bid up to junior Captain so fast. I'm good with leveling SS like we do other premium flying, but no way to one drop per PCS, at least not during the 20th PCS. It's one of the biggest QOL factors in staying senior in my seat. We've watered down seniority enough.
It wouldn't be so bad if they built trips worth flying. Even if I bid over to 320B, where I'd be on the top page of the wide, most months I wouldn't be able to hold a line of the trips I prefer to fly. If we switched to a system like you want, they'd need to build a lot more day trips.

From someone who was once a comp-sci major and coded in the 90s. While DBMS wasn't my strong suit, I could have done a front end UI 10x better as a semester project.

How about spreading 23M7 payments to everyone in affected category. Could spread payment where #1 gets exactly double the plug and everyone prorated in between. Certainly would limit the farming. Of course, company would need to give up something for it.

Why? Spread it that thin and there is no incentive to farm, then farming disappears and we solved the company problem for free.
