Requirements for seperation: why do pilots ignore them

Please all you pilots out there could you explain this one to me?

Over the last few days have issued requirements to pilots for seperation only to have 90% of them not complied with. The excuses ranged from "we couldn't see the other guy so we didn't bother complying as didn't see the need" to "cant you move the other a/c" the classic "sorry we hoped you wouldn't notice" and my favorite " we thought it was optional"

Now I dont know about you but if someone said to me be at this level at this point so you dont have a TCAS RA/hit with someone else I would move heaven and earth to do it. Are these pilots just so stupid that they shouldn't be given sharp instruments let alone fly a plane or do they truely think they are the only a/c in the sky and they can do whatever they want??

The worst offenders were QTR followed by GFA then the cargo UAE planes.

What would it take for these guys to take their job seriously? Its also interesting to note that these are the same pilots that are complete idiots when it comes to R/T.

Please explain this to me as i just dont understand how they can be that unproffesional.
