2011 Census Night

[Bundy Bear]

Thought there should be a AFF Census, since it is Australian Census Night.

First Question, How did you complete the census.

1. Form Provided.
2. Online Only.
3. Form Provided, then wondered how easy it would be to do online.


I thought I would add a few random questions, AFF related of course.


a. What is your closest airport to where you were born, (grew up if you would rather not be so exact)
b. Have you changed airports from this time 5 years ago.
c. Are you likely to fly more in 2011 than 2010.
d. What is the furthest airport you have been to from your home airport. use Great Circle Mapper
e. How much time last week did you spend researching upcoming flights/trips in hours.

The form was filled out in Sydney a few days ago. Someone has slipped a form under my room in Brisbane but I do not live here and I wasn't here tonight anyway.

And the answer to the other questions

a. KZI
b. No
c. Yes
d. I believe it is LHR at 10,573 miles
e. Not sure but I would guess 10+ hours

[Homer]

I think the poll needs at least one more option: overseas so ineligible to participate. For the record, we spent census night in Lake Louise.

 

[cove]

It was quite a chuckle when Mrscove called to say we had multiple properties and had to deal with India to get addresses taken off the list especially when she was told one of our places did not exist!

Completed with the form provided by reception when picking up my room key. Also provided with a sealed e-form number.

A. Born - BNE, Grew up - CNS
B. No
C. No
D. Well YPPF is closest but I guess ADL is home. Either way JFK 10632 or 10641
E. 2 hours

The form was filled out in Sydney a few days ago. Someone has slipped a form under my room in Brisbane but I do not live here and I wasn't here tonight anyway.

Consultation with SWMBO showed that the hotel form was shorter. It also asked for your normal home address.

 

[wingspan]

I completed my form online. I flew a couple of domestic sectors with QF yesterday. As we touched down, the usual announcement over the PA system also reminded us all that it was census night and to be sure we filled in either a census form or an online census.

Now for the AFF census:

a. YPPF
b. Five years ago 'my' airport was ADL. Now I'm 50/50 ADL/CBR.
c. I think there may be more flights this year than last, yes.
d. BOS
e. Maybe a couple of hours. I'll do a bit here and there so it's hard to provide an accurate estimate.
