Q1 to them: Did you fill out a survey?
When the answer is "no" followed by an excuse, the conversation will be over as far as I'm concerned.

I agree that it's pretty lame that so many pilots didn't participate in the survey. However, a 54% sampling of the pilot group will provide very accurate data. A random polling of 1500 Americans can usually predict a presidential election within +/- a few percent. 54% should provide very solid results of what the pilot groups wants. Not that we will ever know but thats a different discussion. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

What's more concerning is what that says about pilots' faith in ALPA.

For everyone who argues the survey response being low means pilots don't believe it matters, there will be another who argues the survey response being low means those pilots trust ALPA and will be content with the results.
Neither side can prove why someone did not fill out the survey, and to say otherwise, is pure conjecture.

And just exactly what DOES it say?

I think it's pretty obvious that apathy is the reason. The DPA might be dead, but there are still around 4000 that keep renewing their cards. That puts the odds of me being correct squarely in my favor.

How many people do you know that have an active card on file?

Regardless, do you really think that PG is correct in trying to say that the low participation is due to incredible faith in ALPA?

I agree it is apathy, but I disagree over why they are apathetic.
