Interesting. I did take the DPA survey, and it took it prior to looking at the results. I pretty much fell in the middle of the bell curve on everything. Not a whole lot of statistical outliers in the survey results. It seems to me that folks are putting down reasonable expectations in the survey, and not "swinging for the fence".

It would be cool if a statistically significant number of people (6000?) took the survey so that we could measure how close we get to the actual desires of the pilot group.

Even if you hate DPA, you should take the survey. It takes 5 mins and the questions are actually less leading overall than the ones from alpa. If enough people took the open survey, it may even put a little leverage back in the pilots hands, and if nothing else, provide you a knowledge of the general desires of your fellow pilots.

Do it.
