Not that I know anything, but I'm predicting a narrow loss for the AFA...and I'm glad I'm not working for the next 6 days.

I think it will be closer than that. The ATL base is largely Anti-AFA, and the get out the vote drive really make many of those that could care less aware it was going on. It does come down to how these FA's vote. If they actually voted, I suspect a loss for the AFA. Just a guess though.
The ATL AFA base is huge, and in my travels I have found only a few hand fulls of FA's voting yes, most were voting no.

Of people that voted, I bet it's over 70% yes to AFA

BZZZZZ wrong. I predict that with 90% of former NWA FA voting yes, it won't take much to get it too pass. Many DAL will vote yes, but the problem will be the no voters will be negated by the FA's who did not vote (or who were on the fence)

I guess we'll know in a few hours one way or another. Either way, I'll just be glad it's over.

How many flight attendants were there for each airline before the merger?

Well, what the heck, I'll put a number... I'm going to guess 80% partcipation on both the NWA and DAL side, of which, 40% of DAL votes yes and 80% of NWA votes yes thus it passes 54% to 46%.
I'm just guessing just to have a number. See who comes the closest.
But if only 33% of DAL votes yes with 80% partcipation, and 80% of NWA votes yes, then it won't pass. The question is, how many DAL FA's are against it, if its a vast majority then I don't think AFA wins. Still not a fan of the AFA anyways. Probably win if it was an in-house union.

Delta has 20,000 Flight Attendants, over 7000 of which are from Northwest and they are represented by AFA. The pre-merger Delta Flight Attendants have no representation. Delta is the only major carrier where Flight Attendants are non-union.
