It screws junior pilots that would have been able to do the GS for the same reasons you describe (college tuition, etc) but now can’t make the last flight to commute in because they haven’t been awarded it yet because ARCOS is calling every senior pilot, three at a time (if initiated after 2300 or only one pilot at a time if more than 8 hours out) every 15 minutes permitting them the full acceptance window before moving on.
