I find pilots to be pretty independent, especially on the PWA.
You in particular, just look at how anything effects you personally and the rest be damed.
No you want us to believe somehow these 1,100 pilots were brainwashed??
The line pilots have spoken Tsquare and reducing profit sharing is off the table.

I agree. I told my reps that profit sharing is off the table for THIS contract. The next one might be different.
The DPA AND the ALPA surveys are by definition biased. The only ones that answer them (unless you get 100% participation) are answering because they have an issue that they deem important enough to take the time to fill it out. That interjects a bias in the survey. It's neither good or bad, it is a bias. Step back from the ledge Jerry. See it for what it is, merely a tool, it is not a true representation of the pilot group unless a statistically significant number of pilots answer it. I do not know what that number is, but I'll betcha it is more than 1100 in a voluntary survey. If it were a random poll, you might have a good sample.
And I am not even versed in statistics. This is just logical. FOr example, I;ll betcha those same 1100 pilots like what TC has done re the doughnut holes organization. Is that a mandate? Methinks not.
