When I ask my friends at Delta if they filled out their survey, I get a variety of responses:

"It wont matter"
"Its a Captains union, so they'll just get what they want"
"I sent in my DPA card"
"I filled it out, but didnt understand what most of it meant"
"yeah, I should really do that"
"I got f&*^$% in the SLI" (Basically, the union wont take care of him anyways, so why do it)
"Im just going to see what happens"


These are all responses from different individuals. No one simply said "yes", or was excited about the prospect of a new and better contract. I am surprised that more people aren't engaged at the minimum level of just filling out an online form. Maybe its because i'm relatively new to Delta, but I think filling out the survey is important, even if you don't like the union, or have other issues.
