Not hard at all. Maybe it was too much for you to handle all at once.

Let's break it down into smaller segments

Correction, "some pilots" sent a rather unambiguous opinion with regards to CDO's. I think it's a stretch to say that "the pilot group" has.

True statement.

You might consider that there might be some self selection involved in the input the reps received during the TA

That's true. Unless there were over 3000 pilots writing the reps, it's self selection bias. You shouldn't ignore the input, but you can't claim that the "pilot group" has spoken either.

and that there might have been input before and after the TA that "some pilots" like and want CDO's.

I believe that to be a true statement. There are many pilots who like those types of rotations. Enough do that....

There was even a resolution from C20 asking for them.

The C20 reps brought a resolution to the MEC, which I'm sure was vetted at their local council meeting, asking for the reinstatement of illegals. They even argued for them at the time.

According to the DPA survey 39% of Delta pilots want CDO's.

Apparently a not insignificant number of pilots have expressed a desire for CDO's on the DPA survey. Of course that is also self selection.

So the question is; what's wrong with asking the group as a whole using a scientifically valid survey?
