In the time it takes you to type up 3 nitpick replies, you could have easily made your own poll exactly how you want it. I get it, the poll and my opening comment were somewhat conflicted. It was made in haste to another reply outside this thread. Nonetheless, it’s unscientific and barely a step above Teen Vogue. If you think I’m shooting for Gallup or Nielsen, you’re gravely mistaken. This is a webboard internet poll. I think other posters’ comments speak for themselves regarding how they feel about standups; both at PWA pay and how it was going to pay less as floated a few years ago. My poll made in crayon coupled with the comments though are very clear: pilots don’t want CDOs. That’s a generalization, but to me very clear. Some feel they are unsafe, some feel they suck in general. A select few think they would be preferable to 30hr layover circadian-flip, but I’m not getting the bring-on-CDO vibe. Just because a piano isn’t tuned doesn’t mean it can’t play a song.

Maybe your new poll will prove me wrong. (I think you just won’t do it.)

You're right, trying to force me into making a poll isn't going to work.

But saying your poll says what you want like that isn't going to either. Just the fact that more than one person has said the same thing regarding your poll out of the numbers responded should be enough to shed doubts on your claim of "very strong feedback." All you have to do is tone down the rhetoric and there's no problem, instead you double down and say it's my responsibility to clean up after you.

I'm perfectly fine with us not doing CDOs, but there's no point in asking people if they want to do CDOs for less money or not at all because not everyone would voluntarily say they would do them for less. Someone who is fine with them but only at full pay only had the option not to respond.

That's all my point was, there's no reason to be so worked up about it.
