Exactly my point. Nor did they receive any emails in support of 5:15 ADG or the A330 rest bunk. Constituents rarely, if ever, send unsolicited input when they're happy with what they see.

When they want something, they never ever stop trying.
My glass-is-half-full mentality contemplates another possible, that of DALPA thinking about what the Company might come after and wanting to gauge our opinion on those subjects. I for one am happy to be able to tell my reps in no uncertain terms how I feel about each of these subjects.

You and I both know that there is a world of difference between a poll or survey, which presupposes that little to no action has yet taken place on the subject at hand and a vote on a subject after such action has been taken.
