FYI: Polls are only for trying to gague readers opinions and then they are only valid if the questions are very carefully thought out and presented so as not to give one question weight over another. Because of this and the fact that it is possible for someone with more than one ID to vote once with each ID it is not even a particularly accurate method of gagueing opinion unless there are more than say, 100 votes.
Anyone trying to use the poll system on PPRuNe to prove a point will not get very far and their credibility could be damaged if they believe the results reflect a fair opinion. In this case, it is only of interest to BALPA members anyway and of course there is nothing to stop anyone who is registered on PPRuNe to vote.
Please do not get into the habit of posting numerous polls without careful planning otherwise I will just have to remove the feature and we will just have to go back to discussing the merits or fault and debating the issues in the traditional manner.
