If you want ALPA vote for ALPA, if you dont you must vote no. The rules have changed so only a majority of those voting is required.
Yes, it's the best way for the bankrupt elephant to get it's trunk into the Jet Blue tent. Most who vote, will probably vote "yes" and they know that. So, those disgusted who aren't interested in ALPO tend to stay away, but then the 40% who do vote, 25% of them vote "yes" and the elephant has a new pail of water to put its trunk into.

A crafty elephant it is.

I'm waiting for the Jet Blue pilots reaction to paying perhaps 4-5% of their income when dues likely skyrocket soon. $5000 is a lot of annual cash for a $100K/year captain. For $420/month, you could be making payments on a new Porsche or BMW.

What a wild show that's going to be.
