What would you do? - Quiz 2
The Results
Please note-- In an effort to get a truly representative survey, I did several in-person interviews, which I might add, was no easy task to accomplish during a Labor Day BBQ.

• 1---You've been bumped off the last flight of the day by a late arriving co-worker. You suspect some devious tactics were employed. ( and no I don't know what tactics, I'm describing a hypothetical situation) Weeks later as luck would have it, he/she walks right pass you, you turn to him/her and....
  
  A--78.7% --Shake your head at how unfair life can be, but later go to the library and get a book on curses, just in case there's a next time.
  B--10.3% --Tell him you want to learn from the master and would love to learn how to manipulate the system.

• C&D--10% --said they would sneak up behind the co-worker and whack him with a 2 by 4 and one guy said he would initiate some convoluted plan involving a boat and killer ducks; and yes, this guy was drinking at the barbeque.
  
  2---You go to a restaurant for dinner, you have an entree and a main course, now it's time for dessert, what do you have?
  
  A-- 1% --Fruit
  B-- 30% -- order anything that has the word chocolate in it?
  C-- 0% --Peanuts
  D-- 0% --I eat the sugar bowl
  E-- 50% --Nothing was mentioned about a beverage, I always have a few drinks with dinner.

• It should be mentioned there were a number of respondents who did not respond, or listed "none of your business" to this question. This "non-response" had no overall effect on the scientific accuracy of this survey.
  
  3---Dracula is to sunlight as non-revs are to...
  
  A-- 0% --TSA
  B-- 2% --computers (company websites)
  C-- 0% --Customs/immigration
  D-- 0% --Little Ashley (age 4) singing the ABC song 17 times in a row.

• 95% of the respondents went "off the board" on this one; got lots of interesting answers. And while there was no definitive answer, one non-rev, with over 40 years of travel experience, seemed to sum it up nicely when he said: Dracula is to sunlight as non-revs are to first class.

• 4---Alright a little honesty here, which phrase describes your fashion style?
  
  A-- 50% --Jeans and khakis
  B-- 02% --Anything black
  C-- 15% --Wrinkled but clean
  D-- 33% --I don't know, I wear a uniform at work and at home it's whatever is clean
  E-- 1 person --Tattoos, enough said. It should be noted that this was one very vocal non-rev who described their fashion style as "tattoo chic", saying and I quote, "My tattoo is timeless, seasonless and blends with any ensemble". I love you mom!

• 
  
  5---You've made the flight, 14 hours from now you'll be in London. You make your way back to 36E and discover you're seated in the middle of Abraham Lincoln High's annual senior class trip. What do you do?
  
  A-- 0% --Commit suicide right then and there, why put off the inevitable.
  B-- 0% --Grab your carry-on and head for the door
  C-- 5% --Sit quietly and focus on your breathing...you can do this Zen master.
  D-- 95% --Is this suppose to be a problem?
  
  6---How do you feel about the color red?
  
  A-- 0% --Roses/romatic/love
  B-- 40% --Pain/Definitely Bad news (no chance, you're not going anywhere pick up your bag and go home)
  C-- 0% --Fire/heat/warmth
  D-- 10% --Bold/dynamic
  E-- 5% --I'm not sure what I think
  F-- 45% --HUH????????
  
  7---Now lets think about a situation:
  You've been stuck at the airport for 15 hours, during the long hours you've made friends with a lovely non-rev family of six who are going on their first family vacation in four years. In fact you've become so chummy with the family that little Jody has shown you photos of her pet bunny Muff and told you how she is really looking forward to the "Disney Princess breakfast" the next day. The gate agent comes over to you and whispers that there are only six seats left on the next flight, the last flight of the day (isn't it always) and because you have a higher priorty you would bump one member of the family, she asks what do you want to do....
  
  A-- 83.3% --Gather your things, say a quick good-bye and head off for the plane. You have reservations for the Princess Breakfast too and aren't missing breakfast at Cinderella's Castle for some family you just met at the airport.
  B--16.7% --You get on the plane, but feel bad about it. Fortunately a few drinks always make you feel better. (Bloody Marys seem to be the beverage of choice)
  C--0% --Give up your seat, but tell the agent you want to give the good news to the family yourself, you enjoy doing a good deed...besides having an executive vice president of human resourses in your debt, isn't too bad of a trade.
  D--0% --Get on the plane and eagerly wait to see which member of the family is left behind. After all you go catatonic when they ask "paper or plastic" at the supermarket.

• This question revealed a significant shift in non-rev attitude. When this question was asked in 2005, an overwhelming majority (80%) said they had, and would, give up their seat so other non-revs might travel. A real softhearted bunch.

• I would like to thank everyone who particpated, especially those who shouted their answers while playing volleyball, it was appreciated.
