If I’m running between planes in ATL and need to eat, the call is ignored. If I need to talk to someone, then I call them back. I’ve been called a few times according to my missed call history but never taken a survey.

When they start running significant phone polls near contract time they put out what the phone ID will be and ask people to answer. No one system is perfect. That is why they use a variety of methods to get feedback.
P.S. Get a new phone system with auto call screening. Best 100 bucks I ever spent!

Still doesn’t help when I can’t answer. Unlike some, I intentionally leave the house without my phone when I’m on my time. Per Delta, I can’t answer it on their time. Opinion only but I think the phone surveys are far from statistically representative. No holiday inn last night but my significant other was a marketing reasearch analyst and says they are bogus FWIW. If the word is out that this is retirement focused, who do you think picks up the phone or ensures the number is not missed?

That said, there’s no perfect solution but thoughtful contemplation from those who care to participate is better IMHO.

Be Respectful Even Answering Surveys Telephonically?

It’s polling. They don’t care if you answer. They care that they get a more across the board slice of the pilot group for those who do answer.

So apparently the monthly update is down to just 2 items. Base newsletters are no longer emailed to us -- they're on Skyhub.

Can't find them on Skyhub.:confused:

Anyone?

I just guessing, but I think it was so short (and abnormally late) due to the Christmas/New Years holiday schedule. I would think the normal monthly update would return beginning of Feb.

It looks like Delta is cancelling FUK service:

Exactly my point they are looking at a volume number to get a representative sample not a cross section. If you don't answer do they call someone else of the same age, base, seat and commute status? The answer is no, they move on to the next randomly generated phone number with the assumption the database they are provided is equally valid for all individuals. There is no time of day adjustment for those on international layovers or even those on the west coast. Sampling hours, availability of the subject, accurate phone numbers and other factors all add error to the sample.
