Default Timely Response to Schedule Requests

OK, I know this has been discussed before but it seems to be getting worse. Why is it that when we submit to make a change to our schedule, it takes them hours (literally) to either approve or disapprove the request? Really? Is that the best we can do?

I know that there has been discussion about "real time trip trading". I know that some have said we can't do it to protect "priority make up". Ok...whatever. Even if we keep the human in the loop, can't we as a pilot group demand that requests be processed within a reasonable amount of time? Is this really something that needs to be negotiated or could someone in the company with the title of "manager" just do his/her job and implement a policy. Why does everything need to be so complicated?

I am not talking about right after open times drops. I am talking about your average day. It should not take hours to get an answer to whether or not I can drop a 6+00 hour trip.
