The increase in percentage makes me feel a lot better. My opinion about AJT is that the Teamsters has poured, and continues to pour a ton of money into the situation since the company even refuses to abide by the contract that they signed. I think that they are pretty leery about ever dealing with that type of pilot group again. The fact that Omni had a larger percentage voting on the contract makes me think that better times are coming soon, just keep the pressure on, and force Omni to bargain, don't leave it in the hands of the lawyers and the mediator.

I think that the initial 60% number was discouraging to me since seeing the JetBlue for for ALPA representation, where a very large number couldn't be bothered to even vote. That was truly pathetic. It is good to see the Supplemental side has more activist pilots. When a contract gets signed, you will have a bunch of formerly frightened pilots get "beer muscles" and pound their chests, declaring that they were instrumental in the process. Just human nature, I guess, but you are right, you will have a much higher participation level.
