Here are the results as of today.

The Company wants pilots to NOT vote, because a no vote is a NO vote. They've already instructed pilots to shred their voting credentials as soon as they receive them so that they don't accidentally vote.
Publishing information like the above "Exit Poll Results" is another way of encouraging pilots to NOT vote. If a pilot is in favor of representation, but fears retribution for voting, he might view the above results and misinterpret them as meaning he doesn't need to vote, because enough people have already voted FOR representation.
NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH! Every pilot needs to exercise his RIGHT to vote. Don't let The Company, or a puppet of The Company, fool you.
Don't Delay
