A little more or less now, but close enough. 5529 on the UAL side and 4478 on the CAL side. Only 50% + 1 vote is needed to pass. Here are some really fun numbers to ponder. The percentages below represent YES votes.

ual 60% / cal 38%.............pass!!
ual 70% / cal 26%.............pass!!
ual 80% / cal 14%.............pass!!
ual 90% / cal 2%..............pass!!

There are 1900+ Airbus pilots at UAL. That's about 35% of the UAL pilot group, and 20% of the combined group. They are receiving 37% raises DOS and $45-65K signing bonuses. (now THAT's some profit sharing!) How many of them will vote NO???

The rest of us UAL guys will vote 2/1 in favor or this agreement by my estimates, which means we will need about 20% of you CAL fellows to make this TA a contract. 1 in 5 of you!!! I'll bet it's closer to 50/50 over there, which will put the overall vote at about a 64% pass. Bottom line, the UAL pilots are running a train on this vote. You may as well lay back and enjoy it, because it is happening...ohhh yeaaah...it's all gooood.

Merry Christmas
