This vote does not so much reflect USAPA as a problem, but that it's members are not informed.

These results mean that the representation ratio of USAPA after Single Transportation System and during Seniority Integration will fall from 1 rep to 300 pilots to 1:1100. Many US Airways pilots find it difficult getting a call or email returned these days. This may become impossible after STS.

West pilots as a block voted against having their own BPR reps continue to represent them. Look at how unsuccessful TWA's DFR was. A later DFR won't grant everything lost by giving up further representation. #livinginthepast

The four remaining officers will be much easier for APA or newAmerican to incentivize. That being said, I believe the four remaining US Airline Pilot Association officers will make the right decisions on behalf of the group.
