How many reflect what I think...ehhhh.
As it should be!

Question

Was called a week ago, while driving in city traffic. Asked the kind lady if she would call me back in 30 mins, as I really wanted to participate in the survey.

She assured me she would. She never called back.

Left two messages on their answering machine.

Crickets!

So why are we conducting a random phone survey, instead of having a website where every paying Fedex ALPA member can log-in and answer the questions on line?

That is how the initial Retirement Survey was conducted 18 months ago.

Why the change?

If you want to take the survey they don’t want you to take the survey. I had a similar experience.

Look who's back....and still not interested in talking to everyone.

June 15, 2018
Your MEC has contacted the University of New Hampshire Survey Center (UNH) to conduct a phone survey of our membership to assess communications as it is related to the retirement research and education project.

Calling times will be between 9am and 9pm (timezone appropriate)

Interviewing 700 pilots (randomly selected)

UNH will make several attempts to call back if your sampling quota is not yet completed

For HKG and CGN, calls will begin June 24th and go through July 3rd at the latest.

For HKG, calling will open at 8am local time.

In other words, we will keep calling until we get the answer we are looking for.

I find it crazy that they don’t do internet surveys. Who the heck uses phones for surveys, we’ll except ancient people who attempt to give away retirements.

Called me twice today. Both times driving, so I didn't answer. Sure would be nice to do it on line so I can take my time and think about my answers.

Took the survey today. Essentially, has the union adequately communicated how swell the variable plan is. You do get a chance to comment at the end. About 7 minutes start to finish.
