One of the FO's on that trip was very smart about this, he explained to me how this works (it took him some coaching with me as I admit at the time I was a bit dense about the whole thing). So since then I put in a basic greenie (with no intention really of flying it) and selected as described above and then ignore the calls/ARCOS.
Be sure you guys don’t start dancing on the job action line.
I use auto Accept because I got tired (specifically my wife got tired) of being woken up in the middle of the night when I was nowhere close to being on deck. If the side effect is they have to let each pilot’s timer run down then so be it. Now when ARCOS calls I know I’m up.
edit: not saying HK is on the line, just happened to quote his post. These are the threads that end up in discovery and REMOVE leverage. It’s happened before.
