So how about a survey to see how many managed to upgrade their status because of AADER?

Mods: If hope posting surveys is not against board policy. If it is please delete the thread.

Interesting idea. We can get some real statistics on how many new EXP we have, at least in the FT world.

Perhaps the mods can turn this into a local Poll using the vBullein software. Make it easier for all to see the results here.

Cheers.

brp - good idea.

Until then everyone can view the results by logging onto the site http://www.surveymonkey.com username aader pwd aader

and report link is

I too think the survey is an excellent idea.

W/advance, apologies for potentially making this a "how many FTers does it take to screw in a lightbulb" issue, but If there is a revised version, I think adding "none" to the pre AADER option could be useful.

Excellent idea!
We use SurveyMonkey at work. We should put more surveys up here -- I am sure there are allot of things to poll the community on.....

One thing, for this survey, we need a response that is no staus to see the migration from no status to GLD...

Note that my journey was from no status to EXP during the course of the promotion, but I chose PLT to EXP as I guess that was more accurate than not. Safe travels.

Isn't the way this survey asks the questions comparing apples to oranges?

The status before AADER is, for most people, the status qualified last year.

The status after AADER is the requalification status, if higher, otherwise same.

And since AADER lasted several months, some people whose status went up over the course of AADER would have gone up the same without AADER just to normal flying during those months (but the survey doesn't differentiate).

If we can't wait until the end of the requalification year to do this survey, then other quesitons might be more useful, like (in ranges) how many extra EQMs did you get this year that you don't think you would have gotten without AADER? (Note that this is not the same answer as how many bonus miles you earned from AADER, because it also factors in extra trips taken only because AADER was around.) Or what status do you expect to have at the end of this year factoring in AADER?

It does not let me change the survey since it has started already but someone without status can just not select anything in the before part. I dont think it requires a choice to be selected.

So far it looks like business as usual - just 2 more EXP's. No change for PLT so my upgrades should hopefully still clear :-)

You need to add another option (or two) how many were already requalified to EXP and didn't need AADER.

riteshraja

Added this question.

Unless of course those 2 new EXP are on the same flight that you are

I was EXP before AADER, and I requalified EXP without AADER, so the survey doesn't pertain to me.

brp

I took the intent of this to be "status you would have gotten this year without AADER" as the "before" and status with AADER. I think most people know what they plan for each year, so could answer this. That was the way I answered it.

Cheers.

It's only mid-July. I expect many people will hit their status level, helped by AADER, later this year.

Most such surveys are a waste of time since the people responding will not generally be a true cross-section of the AA board on FT.

The responding group will be heavily weighted toward those who are excited about the promotion and want to analyze it, making it appear that a lot more people have jumped up in status due to the promotion, even if that is not the case.

FWIW, I will most likely make PLT later this year, which I probably would not without this promotion.
