Many of the ones that probably voted against the union are probably the ones that need it the most. Flight attendants are like unions ... A necessary evil.
1. Solidarity? They voted in the Union during their very first election. Took you three times, and there was just a 5 percent difference in approval spread between FAs and Pilots.
2. its 35 a month and they don't have to start paying it until a contract is finished and signed. Think about that next time you send your check to ALPA.
3. They already have far more political support across both parties, publically, than we've seen in three years for you, a lot of it concentrated in B6 headquarters, New York, but also on the national level.
4. A necessary evil? gonna remember this one when they drop the F/O position down the road as aircraft get more and more automated. Lets see which comes first advanced auto-pilots or robotic stewardesses.
Gonna laugh when they get a contract signed first.
