As someone hired relatively recently I don’t think this is a fair assessment based on a majority of other people I encountered during training. It’s also not supported by the fact that several people in my class alone have already gone on to legacy carriers. And there are plenty of us who came here for the bases/lifestyle, and are giving the company until the Fall to get serious or we’ll be on our way too.

Regarding the example you used, it may be because use of the radar is barely even discussed in training (along with MANY other things) and we rely on experienced captains to give us some guidance :-)
