I counted. I have 22 Delta pilot phone numbers in my cell phone. I texted each of them. 3 are voting yes (2 are in management positions and 1 is a union guy) 1 doesn't know yet and 18 are No voters ranging in seniority from 747 Capt to 717 FO. So by that sampling it should fail, however I'm not going to bet the farm on it.
That is actually a better sampling than the DPA exit poll. Your sample is pretty random and covers many seniorities.
The problem with polling is it doesn't pick up the quiet Yes, just want to get along group.
I know that I will work until the last day of voting to educate and distribute information. If you think you are winning, you've lost. Stay hungry.
