What has more leverage for Negotiators: a 53% turnout for a strike vote or 99% turnout for a strike vote?
If we get 99% of our fellow pilots to do the survey, it gives the NC a strong mandate at the table to get much more of what we ask.
If only half do the survey, well, that's not nearly the same amount of leverage for the NC is it?
Are you going to help IMPROVE the NC's leverage to get a better deal or are you going to REDUCE the NC's leverage?
If you are satisfied with 4/8/3/3 sure, let's have only 53% do the survey again.
