Some No voters are "No" on social media but change their vote when in private to a "Yes"
Remember the screams for "NO PBS!" I think if there was a PBS poll on APC it would have been 90% against. Yes when they did private polling, the majority of Spirit pilots were open to exploring it.
The distant learning LOA is another example. "No voters" in force, and it passed.
As this month goes on, the info coming out from road shows and conference calls will provide a lot of info that the undecided want to hear.
Forums and WhatsApp are a breeding ground for guys to yell and get angry, thats what they are, anger platforms. Guys who are yes votes are not goin to go and argue with the angry, it doesnt work well for anyone.
I think a safe bet is this TA passes, those who were against it will wear insignia showing they are no votes, and it takes this group years to overcome the divide caused.
Sad, but unavoidable.
I think some of the yes voters are quiet because they are ashamed and embarrassed about voting for this POS.
I know there is nothing guaranteed and it’s a gamble (voting NO), but I see that TA as making this place a non-destination, and a stressful job while getting paid a lot less than my peers. Although it plays zero role in my vote, I’ll be embarrassed for our group if this passes.
