ARCOS will start calling the next batch once the previous batch window closes since there is still a delay for the awarded pilot to accept the trip (I think they also have 15 minutes to confirm). When you saw it covered in icrew was there an * next to the pilots employee number showing they had actually acknowledged the trip?
