Right now I bet 90 percent of the questions are being answered “extremely important.”
There's no way I'm only in a 10% minority who put almost nothing on that survey as "extremely important". And I'm a big fan of the questions that had us divvy up our priorities by percentages. These guys understand you can't have everyone firewall everything and call it effective polling.
I'm sorry to say I don't get all the angst about this survey or the MEC. There are clearly a lot of pilots who want to recover some of their lost retirement. I would too if the company snatched over a million and then turned around to reward shareholders during our windfall.
If I were a rep, this kind of polling is exactly what I'd do to investigate if it's a vocal minority and to what degree... and I'd also release the results so everyone knows they're actually doing the pilots' bidding. IMHO we should all chill out a bit until we have a sense of the openers.
