DPA has just under 5,500 properly signed cards from Delta pilots. Of those 5,500 cards, just over 500 have expired because the NMB rules mandate that signed cards are only good for one year. I've had to renew mine three times so far.

You need 50% of the total pilot group to hold a new election for representation rights. To win that election, you must get 50%+1 of all the pilots who decide to vote.
