It depends how many of you are on duty and what roles you play.
When I DCed, I usually had to scan the calls myself and tag them up, shouting for the appropriate ships at the same time. I usually handled SMSing members as well. Having people doing any of this for you is just cheating
And 7 calls will never be a challenge. It's easy to tag up the calls within a few minutes, and then all you need to do is shout for ships. It's not intensive work.

I agree, but it's all about having the right people around you. In lower-level alliances it's more a case of
if you get offered ships, as opposed to when.

Exactly - but the hours do remain prohibitive for a great number of able PA players.
