because the twelve minute timer means that 40 auto accepts delays trip coverage by 8 hours
minimum.
you could staff ten schedulers per pilot and that would still be true. you could make batch sizes of one and it would still be true.
now, it is a chicken-or-the-egg situation where large batch sizes caused pilots to start auto-accepting, but if the company quit doing large batches, you wouldn’t pull your auto accept, so we’re stuck with that delay, irrespective of “crew scheduling training and staffing” and batch sizes.
