Crosspoint,

The survey seems to be of the "when did you stop beating your wife type" in
that the questions originate from an incorrect premise. As such it is
difficult to complete in a way that gives meaningful results.


I couldn't agree more. Your analogy is apt.
I looked at the survey, started to reply (because I fly in Europe) but quickly
felt I was being led into a trap, laid more by ineptitude than anything else.

Well meaning pilots might reply by clicking the "minimum" proposed incident
occurrence, however this is several orders of magnitude above the real risk,
which means the compiled result will be a wild distorsion of the reality. This
is a grotesque disservice to those who wish to participate in good faith.

This survey is a meaningless contribution, and an insult to any who take
aviation saftety seriously. Not only should it be boycotted, but Eurocontrol
should be alerted and called to order on this issue of charlatanism and
intellectual bankruptcy . . .

I regret to use such harsh words, but this thing really stinks!
