Poll is corrupt!
Two items:
1. Did you turn off your pop up blockers, like the note says?
2. Since this poll uses a common password this poll is useless. One person can put in a whole bunch of alpa numbers and use the common password to skew the results. Devious you call me?, but don't think it won't happen by a fanatic for one side or the other. The poll needs to be behind your individual password to be legit.

That's an interesting thought. It did say, and you appear to be encouraged to go in and enter as much opinion as you see fit, as often as you'd like, but that at the end date of the survey, only your last set of comments will be looked at. This, they say, will be done by ALPA member number. So I guess you're right, in that someone could enter lots of guys' member numbers and their own comments. Personally, I have many better things to do than to go and spend upwards of an hour, many times, just to tell ALPA National what they already know.

I can't find a note about pop up blockers (where is this note?), but I have never had a problem logging into the ballpoint site in the past. I turned them off and still no go!

What "countless data" are you referring to? That's been the problem, there is no difinative safety data that proves the over 60 crowd are less safe. So, there goes your safety argument, which, by the way is your strongest argument available to not change the age.
In a way you are correct about a different answer, but I believe it is predicated on the fact that the last survey was pre bankruptcy for many airlines. Pilot's reference point has obviously changed and even though I'm not in favor of changing the age, the leadership has to have the latest wishes of their membership to be able to have any credibility.
