[NAGDU] Really need more surveys completed

[Lisa Belville]

Cindy, the survey itself isn't difficult; it's very accessible. The only 
part that might cause a problem is downloading the ACA form for the 
purposes of answering survey questions.  But if you can't do this, that 
issue is also taken into account in the survey.


I was referring to the form the airlines are expecting us to fill out.  
Also, you don't have to be currently using a dog to take the survey.

The one thing I have to say is that all of the technical knowledge needed to download, complete and either print or electronically submit this form is more than most of the sighted people I know have.  I went through this process last year when I was flying with my now retired guide to her new home.  Luckily, I have the skills, but even so, the process was annoying and ridiculously convoluted and I cannot imagine how stressful and frustrating it would be for someone lacking the technical skills and/or the sighted assistance necessary to fill out this form.  I wouldn't want to deal with this if I were flying home due to a death in the family or some other emergency.

>>> Hey NAGDU – I’m writing to ask again for folks to complete our [ACAA survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaP43Jv5nEEfuu-FfF5EooPxyUerQmreg9ciJlxrut8fB0uQ/viewform?pli=1). So far we have only gotten about 20 surveys, and I know there are more of you out there. We need at least 50, and preferably 100 surveys if we want our voices to be heard, so please take a few minutes and complete the survey now.

>>> We have received some feedback about the survey not clearly asking for information about your being discouraged from traveling because of the new forms/rules and/or considering not getting a guide dog because of those forms/rules. If you have been discouraged from travling or are thinking about not getting a guide dog in the future because of concerns about being able to fly with a guide dog, please say so in your own words  in the optional comment field at the end of the survey.
