I posted previously, at UAL they offered a second round of SIL’s for May. In SFO 777 category, they wanted 343 pilots between CA and FO to take the SIL’s. They got a grand total of 1 taker. I also understand on the 75/76 they had zero takers. Part of the reason was as you suggested...the other reason is the offer was sub standard.
