From an unscientific viewing of daily trip coverage in my category, it seems I see way more #1s and fewer #4+... perhaps ARCOS is spreading the love a little more, which I think is just fine. I like the upsides of ARCOS but don't dig the way it is being implemented with batch size exceeding green slips available. Before ARCOS, I had no calls for green slips that weren't mine for the taking, and after ARCOS I've probably had 30 or more (flying perhaps 4).

A simple tweak of the software could find a happy medium... only notify one at a time (or batch size=trips available), automate the system to step to the next candidate at receipt of "decline" (or 10 minutes of no response). Scheduler is notified when the process is complete with an acknowledged assignment. Split the difference between old and new processing time, but never interrupt a pilot who won't be awarded a GS if he chooses to accept the proffer.
