Lack of communication.

Yes they were out of step or we would have SDP's in our agreement.

Yours is a question that nearly everyone is asking themselves right now. I pray I'm not breaking the confidence of a friend by reposting this, but this is just the sort of self-examination nearly everyone is doing.

I fully agree we probably need a way to get more info out in a way that can be used, but the double edged sword...

We only heard from 12 pilots in XXX about the SDPs...is that indicative of the base?

How do you set up a real-time polling system that accounts for self-selection bias?

Nearly all those that wrote us calling for MEMRAT was only so that they could vote no. Many of those have written us and said they have voted no on everything. Is that a useful cross-section?

We'll work to refine this
Again, perhaps I erred by posting this. But posting might help some understand that your reps are very earnestly representing you the best they can figure out how to do the job. The sincerity of that effort really can't be appreciated when false allegations and calls for cross council recalls are being made.
