If we weigh in, and ask them to stand with us and help themselves at the same time, the votes will be there easily.
Then on to the mechanics.
That's a good assessment. It's easy to persuade an ignorant group. It's the message of "better the devil you know than the devil you don't".
Believe it or not, having the flight attendants unionize would be an overall benefit for the Delta pilot group. Just think, that's 20,000 less people ALPA has to negotiate for.
