Any of us will gladly take the time to explain the SIG process and DPs if you have any questions.
Lazy, ignorant, whatever, those are just excuses and justifications. We're all adults and should be responsible enough to use the info in front of us to support the SIG. That email from the SIG comes out every month before the bid closes.
SNAFU,
Calmer minds have offered an alternative view that is reasonable. You are not only sounding like an a$$ towards our newhires but even somewhat unstable. Give it a break dude. You call for us to be adults, then take your own advice. Your credibility is certainly lacking while attempting to hammer our fellow pilots. It is certainly reasonable to assume that new hires are still learning the ropes. Maybe you should try giving them the benefit of the doubt.
