On the face of it, I agree with safetypee; this is a public forum where anyone with a keyboard and an axe to grind could claim they are a professional pilot and dilute the data set. As your profile says Tacoma, why not ask Alaska Airlines and Horizon Airlines (or any other local operators) whether you could poll their pilots and use that as your reference material? Otherwise, you are apt to have a number of wannabes comment on a subject they know little to nothing about, yet appear credible through convincing vocabulary.
Granted, contacting local airlines would provide a small sample size compared to the industry as a whole, but your argument would be stronger through credible sources.
I think you’ll also find most pilots are not in this career for fame. If they are, I would question their motives, and so should you.
