More than one thing can be true at once. There are absolutely senior pilots who have auto-accept on who have no intent to actually operate a GS/WS. You don't need to have auto-accept to be the harmed pilot under 23M7. The ONLY thing it's doing is slowing things down unnecessarily. Whether you want to believe it, doing this does far more harm to mid-seniority pilots than hurts the company. They just move to 23M7. The only people who get paid are guys in the top 1% and pilots who are super junior who get the IA call before anyone senior to them.
Yes, the company is the problem. They are the ones who don't staff properly. But also auto-accepts with zero intent to fly are also causing this slow down as well.
