Surveys on Planes [3 of 3]

Concluding thoughts


At the end of the flight the iPads are collected, and based on the logistics the given airline felt most efficient and effective, the survey information downloads for later study. The nature of this survey may be repeated "X” number of times before the iPads and their surveys are then issued to a different route. This acknowledgment is simply to be forthright; no airline is going to buy an iPad for every seat of every plane.

All of the technologies expressed in this document are already available, relatively inexpensive to make available and simply are not available, as they can be.

As a basic recap, the 10 questions were as follows:

Context

First Questions

• seat assignment

Content

Second Questions

Flight Related

• flight pattern mapping

• flight statistics

• cockpit Webcam (where not a security issue)

• 1 of 7 or more exterior Webcams

Destination Related

Context

Last Questions

• ranked against each other

• ranked against themselves

The information gathered has decision-making use with an eye toward prioritizing how much digital information can be made available and how quickly. The only ethical issues would have to do with editing, matters of general audience appropriateness, while cultural sensitivities need to be honored and the like.
