Herkflyr's probably the majority here at Delta. This pilot group is a YES voting group by default, therefore only a pretend union can actually be had here. Sad.

Part of the problem with so many voters inclined to vote yes, is there are many within the last 5 years of their career and holding out for the perfect contract doesn't benefit them. A 1% raise would more than zero. I get it, don't like it, but I get it.
I think the demographic is changing, but will take a long time to get back to where the dominant voting block could retire at anytime. There may also be a bit of Stockholm syndrome after the 9-11/SARS/Asian banking crisis/BK/Black Swan catastrophe.
