Same reason companies try and get you to take PTO when revenues fall. PTO is already been accounted for when you accrued it. It doesn't cause a hit to balance sheet when you finally take it.
Also, they've jacked-up award rates to Hawaii. What is sAAver to Hawaii now, 45K for Y and 80K for F? Sounds like a good way to get people to drain their accounts.
