As a clarification, the survey mostly had questions like "how often do you fly as a pass rider?" "how would you feel if we _______?" "place these 6 options that would make us more money in the order you prefer" and things like that. Some questions I could understand, like asking if we would prefer to go by time of checkin instead of seniority (I'm sure because that's what AA does, but that wasn't mentioned specifically) but some were really insulting ("should vacation passes be given only to commuters?" or "Should management be given priority over non-management employees" (ditto supervisors). I was also a bit upset that when the annual enrollment fee was mentioned, they said that Delta charges $50/year as an example. Conveniently, they forgot to say that Delta does not charge a fee to sit in F.

I'd be really interested in seeing the raw data as well as what the results will be. Hopefully it's not too bad.
If they go by way of check in instead of seniority it would highly piss me off. That's just wrong. I think someone once mentioned that someone conveniently working near the gates whereas someone having to come from home or a hanger would get bypassed by that pencil pushing geek at the gate with no seniority. Create a cluster FK at the counter. You going to play that game, lets go with rotating shifts and everything else based on seniority. (I thought it was 25 dollars Delta pays not 50 per year for service fee.)
