Edit: I can remember in 2021/22 green slips would go out on a Tuesday at 1200 Mecca time for trips beginning on a Thursday or Friday. If CS adopted this tactic, their farming costs would drop precipitously.
They are 100% sitting on trips in open time for 12+ hours before running coverage. I know how to read ARCOS and do the math backwards. When I'm #15 or something on the list it's easy enough to see when about trip coverage started. It's not taking 1+ hours per pilot to get through their window, not since the new automation from December.
