Does any of this really surprise you?
What is surprising is that we went nearly 48 hours after open time with "only" 10 out of 36 possible seats filled on those trips.
How long are we going to allow the weakest among us to determine what an acceptable pairing is?
I support the SIG 100%, but the DP process is fotally tucked and needs to be fixed.

...continue to disappoint? Yes
And until our DP process is changed/fixed, I recommend steady: Education, Communication and Transparency.
Is there something else the vast majority of us, which understand why we should support our SIG in their quest for safety, can do?
Out of the 470+ pilots listed in the 727 bidback, I'm encouraged to see that almost 99% are putting Safety & QOL ahead of the "extra" 2+26 hrs this DP pays out (... vs a more normal 6 hr Mem hub turn or AM/PM O&B trip).
I'm also highly encouraged that a very wide/diverse demographic chooses not to pick up these DPs...
...and still hopeful, the very small demographic which does may ultimately see the "big picture" and change their ways.
Education, Communication and Transparency.

Looks like some "young guns" are not getting the word about DPs.
(Note: Employee #s can be deceiving)
I'd hope we are not breeding a new generation of DP flyers....and calendar blockers, but we could be.

I think that is because the 75 took the afternoon flight to BFM away but not the a.m. launch. In July the 75 is doing both launches to BFM so now they can pair up QRO with the 75.
