25 surveys were returned.
Not everyone answered all the questions – some were pilots, some were
companions, so of course, the number of replies to each question doesn’t
add up to 25. Also, not all pilots or all companions answered all
pilots or companion questions. Some boxes were ticked and others were
ignored.
One survey was found after
the survey results were tallied - so it is not included in the results.
We apologize if this was your survey and you don't see your comments
here.

- Limit time
- We’ve exhausted this activity
- Stop this activity. It has humorous moments, but the embarrassing
moments far exceed the humor value. It makes people
uncomfortable when high value items go for far below the
value. It also drags on way too long.

Other comments:
-
- Find out reason why people
come? Ie. Safety points? Cheaper insurance rates? Check out rides?
Answer what? Airplane questions?
- Thanks to those who put it
all together – great job!
- Perception of “cliqueiness” –
possibly keeping people away?
