They may come to us in 5 years and give us an offer that is way off base and say "oh but this is what the surveys said". I called BS back then. Delta, AA and UA all tell their pilots what the goal is in the beginning!!!!!
The NC will never tell us what the survey said before the TA is released. This is the way
it MUST BE.
NEVER allow your opponent at the table to KNOW what you must have! That would be like putting a .357Magnum to your own head.
I do call on the MEC to release the survey results at the TA roadshows. I understand your desire to know now, but it would be a major screw up to show our goals while our NC is still at the table.
edit: You mention DAL, etc. They may publish their goals, but they don't publish their bottom line. The survey results would establish our bottom line.
