Telephone Poll

I didn't answer when the call from Nashua NH came. Now I hear that was the polling company. Guess I missed my shot. Did they ask anything interesting?

Did it come up as "unknown"? I've been getting calls from an unknown # for a couple of days but not answering. Maybe it's just the bill collectors?

No, it said Nashua, New Hampshire on the caller ID so I didn't answer. Found out later that's where the polling calls come from.

They asked some general questions about the way forward. It was mostly questions about what I didn't like about the TA and what is the minimum I would accept in the next TA. Pretty simple.

Sounds like the usual phone polling questions. Did you reply as such?

Told them I want No codeshare period. A better retirement to get us to industry average. Full retro. And professional negotiators.
Not a fan of the ambush polling. I would prefer a web based product so we could take time to compose our thoughts without hemming and hawing.
