Unlimited batch sizes won’t do much once everyone figures out you can just click to auto-accept but not auto-ack a GS, though. We’ll be right back to 10 minute steps through all the pilots who said they’d accept the trip but ultimately don’t respond or complete the acknowledgement. Six pilots an hour ain’t gonna cut it and there will be tons of 23M7 use for the foreseeable future. That’s my guess, anyway…
The issue with doing the auto-accept method is that in batches with multiple rotations you will not get called and will not be able to rank preferences. ARCOS will simply do that for you based on whatever parameter you have set on your slip request and you will only get offered the single trip it awards you. And that is a pretty blunt tool, so I think that most pilots are still going to want to see the available trips and sort them themselves during the proffer window.
