The whole breakdown in the process is a problem yet to be addressed. We have huge categories now like the 7ER and 320 fleets with 600 pilots or so. There's no way to get through the list with a batch size of 1 or even 5.
A few years back one of the biggest complaints was the company was using batch sizes that were too large. Pilots were tired of getting calls for trips they had no chance of being awarded. ALPA pushed the company to reduce the batch sizes. Might be hard to go back now and ask for a increase.
