THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR MAJORITY OF OUR PILOTS. I am ready to cash in our leverage to fix it ASAP.

Maybe because we are getting nothing. We used to get premium flying. Now we aren’t getting anything. I don’t blame our pilots one bit. The company never should have let the scheduling department collapse. It’s great that pilots are getting paid to do nothing. Good for them. Meanwhile pilots like myself are getting hosed. I tried to pick up IA’s today that should have gone to me via GS. Watched them both go to pilots thousands of numbers junior while sitting on hold for 30 plus minutes. I never did get through to scheduling. Just gave up after trips were covered.

A better solution would be to slowly audit the tapes and pay every “deal maker” pilot minimum wage with no rigs for their poached flying and put the rest of the original pay into a pot to divide among us all at the end of the year. Enjoy that $150 Four day trip you just flew while we look forward to a bonus at the end of the year.

No it won't. Sure, QS will go out on seniority order, but they don't disincentivizes 23M7 farming. So then everyone will be angry that there's no GS, and everyone with a QS submitted is essentially going to be getting a category wide no batch size phone call for a slip that has no auto acknowledge.

Those are problems the MEC should have considered before giving away batch sizes. In the meantime, manage your phone’s DND settings. QS will have a leveling mechanism, which will offer some degree of predictability as to when it will be “your turn”.

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.

That’s as good as it’s going to get without giving away concessions, and without negotiating a more balanced solution in section 6 that takes into account the sheer value of 23M7 / auto-accept.
