Well for people like us who interact with a message forum like this, a online survey seems easy. But for the older crowd, or those who don't like technology as much, not as many would fill it out. Then, when the MEC tries to use the data to establish priorities, some LEC members might complain that certain demographics weren't represented. I think saying "tough" doesn't fly.

When I talk to Captains I fly with about the surveys, and they say they don't answer the phone, my response is, "fine, I do and that just means my opinion is considered and yours isn't". It's their choice to answer or not.
