VX pilot group voted in ALPA only a few months before the acquisition was announced. I'd hardly call that "quickly". Care to share with us all of VX pilot group's achievements besides not having a contract? Inquiring minds would like to know.
You are correct, total company contribution was 12%. Way below the respectable airlines of UA, DL, and AA. I believe they were contributing between 15-16%.

Don't know the exact date, but its around the June/July 2015 time frame. I don't have an answer for your second question. It did seem like attrition slowed for a bit after we unionized.
