I would rather contribute $10,000 of my own money to JBPA than have ALPA.

That being said, I will support them if/when elected. We need a CBA, and I'll welcome a CBA however we get it. I may even volunteer for the union, but that will depend highly on who gets into office at JetBlue.

There's no effing way I would've chosen to abstain from the vote. I have an opinion, and I have the right to express it, just as you do. I know abstaining helps express your particular position, but it does so at the detriment to mine.

In any case, I've already voted. If there's a runoff, I welcome it. My vote will be the same.
