And yet there are some of us that have nominations in and don't get any phone calls direct from STC/Region???? Does this piss anyone else off as well?

Why do we bother to nominate people for courses if this sort of shenannigans continues.

Still a bullshit system. Those people &/or brigades/groups should be passing names of those who cannot attend on to STC, so that they can then go to the next name on the list and get them on board.

Some of us have been waiting a very long time for particular courses.

Yep. This one among others, and know of several other people who although our brigade is below spec are unable to get on courses... seeing this kind of in house movement is infuriating and undermines the whole point of nominating to a central point to coordinate for courses. But it happens every week at about this time to fill last minute spots and im sure will continue regardless of any ranting from me.

But this sort of carry on still shits me as not all course dates suit.
