If you become incredibly familiar with the ARCOS and Auto-Acknowledge system and its quirks, you’ll find that it is far less than ideal. You can stack and rank various GS requests in PCS but the system looks for reason to NOT award you something. And when it finds that reason, it stops, despite you possibly having a lower preference request that would have matched. It’s really messed up and the Scheduling committee knows about it.


So while I agree that the 23M7 “guardrails” settlement is probably the least bad that we were able to obtain, the Scheduling Committee’s claims that the solution to reduce nuisance calls from large ARCOS batch sizes by utilizing Auto Acknowledge was total BS. #lipstick #pig
