There's a big difference between a knowledgable person and an annoying know it all. Here on APC you usually come across as the latter. Too funny.
If you're the union expert you claim you are then you knew what I meant. Mediators play a large role in RLA negotiations.

No. I don't remember the end date but it's right around now. The drive has had over the 50% needed for a vote for quite some time. The purpose of continuing the drive past that number wa that APA will die on this hill fighting what the pilot group wants. The drive wanted well over 50% so that when APA fights and demands recounts there aren't any doubts.

We needed 7,981 signed cards today to meet the minimum 50% plus one required by the NMB to trigger an election between APA and ALPA. As of August 20th, we have received over 10,000 pieces of mail from this pilot group. We are still going through a very painstaking, manual process to account for retirements, duplicates, attrition, fraudulent cards, and card errors using a limited number of line pilot volunteers to ensure card signers’ identities are protected. We will give a full accounting once the audit is complete.
