Honestly we should just get rid of batch sizes.. if you don't want to be disturbed during your sleep put your phone on do not disturb or block ARCOS' number.
Ideally we'd have the technology to choose within ARCOS like "only call if less than 5 senior pilots to me eligible for trip" and it doesn't call you until this is met and adjusts in real time as senior pilots deny the trip.
But we'll never have that ability, so I say just get rid of batch sizes and manage your settings as necessary.

Keep batch sizes, just set them based on the number of pilots in category. ATL7ER probably shouldn't have the same batch size as DTW717.

I think this is a better answer than no batch size. Base it on a percentage. Let’s say 100 people are eligible for the trip(s) on the call out. First call out is 25 peeps, second 25 and so forth.

Optionally, remove the batch size limitations and give me an hour of pay/no credit for every green slip I accept through ARCOS but am not awarded.
If the company is going to infringe on my free time with bait and switch offers for premium pay that don’t materialize, they can pay me for that privilege.

Company had three options:
a) tells network to pound sand when they try to push a schedule Flt Ops know they can't fly.
2) if not a, then staff the company to execute said schedule
d) neither a or 2

during the day (and we can argue about what timeframe the should be) I don’t see a downside to unlimited batch sizes. Send out a batch to the whole category. It’s better than a trip going to an IA, or worse to the ********* who calls scheduling fishing for the trip.
