I agree that it's stupid.

I received an invitation to another NZ survey yesterday, which mostly focused on cabin configuration and inflight service, rating each component on a 1-10 scale of importance, as well as other carrier reputations etc.

One of the free feedback fields at the end resulted in me (once again) stating that I really dislike this rule, amongst others around Airbuck earning.
