I was just commenting on the exact same thing. A couple hundred "yes" votes in a very short space of time. Sabotaged for sure.

Hard to imagine your average pilot swaying the poll with lots of yes votes for this issue. So who would be behind a big "yes" do you think?

you only have to read the posts on pprune to realise that this is hardly the home of your average pilot.

If I was a manager tasked with monitoring and contributing to PPRuNe (or simply one with a vested interest in swaying opinion), I would delegate to the rather substantial IT department the task of manipulating this poll.

Clear cookies, cache etc, vote.... clear cookies, cache etc.... revote and so on.

Simple. Nice idea, but the results mean nothing. Thanks for setting it up though.

TIGER321....

So the poll isn't going the way you want; ergo, it must be rigged.

Grow up!

Grow up?
200 "yes" votes in an hour?
Grow a brain.

Max,

It would seem that you need a bit of time off to relax. Easy mate. Grab some SLS if you can't get your contractual leave.

I don't need to see the poll go a particular way as you put it. Maybe it's just doing a "financial" on us - one way today and the other tomorrow.

I'm just saying that if this was a betting shop there would be an investigation underway into some very peculiar bets.

Remember, I'm on your side.

Angry Sabotaged?

I think so, but still keeping an open mind.

I've just got back online today and the results don't seem to reflect what I hear around the bazaar's.

Thanks to all those who only voted once, whatever your vote was. I forgot about flushing the cache and trying again - I simply tried twice and the poll wouldn't let me vote twice.

See you out there...

Huge discrepancy between the 14% uptake of SLS as quoted by the GMA/DFO and the 49% uptake according to the poll.

Hmmm.

Methinks someone definitely drove the poll figures higher in order to try and sway/scare any fence-sitters.

hmmm....I know, why don't we just drop the idea of a poll? We all know that this is without a doubt the most botched package yet issued to the pilots of CX. A simple NO is all that's required.

Oh I agree, but I thought it wold be interesting to see how the botched package was being received.

There have been very few responses since it became so obviously skewed by some parties.

I'm considering closing it too.

Cheers.

The fact that management has obviously 'skewed' the poll is comically evident that they are panicked by the impending demise of their atrocious plan. I sometimes wonder how these people face themselves in the mirror in the morning. To dedicate your career to the pursuit of dishonesty, corruption and moral turpitude is a fine legacy. I guess the means justify the ends eh Nick...?
