Everyone loves to say just turn on auto accept, but it's not always a great option because there is just no great way to have them sorted. I concede that often middle of the night calls are single trips, but I've had quite a few instnace of 3-5 sent out at once. Also, they'd need to make it much easier to turn on/off auto-ack.
We're talking about two separate things. The settlement was completely ridiculous. We're in agreement on that. I'm not defending it. I'm saying it would be a waste of negotiating capital to try and go back to it without substantial changes. It created a lot of problems for management, yes. But there were negative effects for the pilot group too.
