Of people that voted, I bet it's over 70% yes to AFA
If that is the case I will be impressed.

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.
The NYC base is anti-AFA, too. I haven't found one FA up in NY who wants the AFA.

Thanks ftb.

I'm going to go with 55% - 45% FOR AFA.

It won't be over unless Boog is right.

If AFA fails on a close vote, expect protests to the NMB and Court about management interference. If AFA wins on a narrow vote, expect a DPA like cat-rancher rebellion.

I hope the vote is decisive, not divisive.

Since you are swtched into the workings of this stuff.. How will this play out: If the AFA wins.. do the fDAL FAs immediately revert to the fNWA payrates? IOW.. do they take a paycut? OR do they need to enter a section 6 type negotiations?

And simply the nature of having two disparate groups is divisive... their union is not gonna change that. If you think otherwise you are pretty naive, and that would surprise me.

Does anyone think the outcome will have an effect on the stock price either way?

For a year Richard Anderson has been pointing out that we are already paying more to our non union employees than the AFA members. Either way, he says, we will pay a fair wage.

If the stock drops, it is a buying opportunity.
