Once this happens, there are no more batch size violations and no more 23M7 violations. This ‘should’ have the effect of fewer blanket WS and GS, which will allow getting trips assigned even quicker. This should allow a reduction in batch size while still getting trips assigned in a timely manner.
I'd prefer they fix it by more properly staffing (or scheduling) the airline rather than us fixing it for them so they can continue to run everything hot. We used to do just fine when they had schedulers actually call pilots one-by-one, mainly because we didn't have the ridiculous number of GS we see these days. Bigger batch sizes simply allow them to continue the status quo, or worse, encourages them to push it even more. I sincerely hope our union doesn't give up current batch sizes, unless we get a giant ask in return.
