How it is supposed to work is that the MEC and negotiators tell the professional pollster what information they are looking to get from the pilot group and then the pollster creates the questions and then interprets/provides the data. In this case (this is not hearsay as I have seen it up close and personal) the reps are not getting the result they want so they start writing the questions. “You want the pony and the new car right?”

This is not to say that the reps should not have input etc, but it shouldn’t be a Fox/CNN news poll either. Some want professional negotiators instead of having “pilots do it”, but in this case we have a professional and yet we have reps pushing us towards a more unscientific result as they are non professionals in this area.
