You also have to realize that most every voting pilot did their own due diligence and voted accordingly. The fact that they didn't vote the way you did doesn't make them any less than you or "sheep" or some other derogatory name.
The only reason to see a prior survey would be to cast dispersion on the elected NC and try to come up with a conspiracy theory or some tidbit to support your losing side on the TA, neither of which is good with contract 2015 gearing up.
Good luck on contract 2015, I hope it's such a slam dunk that it passes 75-25 which in itself would be historic.
I hope so too.
But surely there are other reasons to see the results. It seems cynical to think the only reason would be to cast "dispersions" or create a conspiracy theory.
How about plain old accountability? If the survey showed a majority would trade pay for coconut donuts on every flight, yet we never asked for them, that's not a "dispersion", it's a data point. I'm sure, like 99% of the guys I fly with, you're a good dude, and fairly smart. So am I. I can handle seeing the data without going all Area 51 on you.
Anecdotal evidence from the cockpit, says I'm not alone. But I stipulate they may have just been being polite and agreeing.
