The NMB has to determine if East and West is one company. Their is precedent set already by other unions at Airways that we are one company. Thus chances are East and West will be considered one company, and USAPA, if voted in, would represent all pilots. Doubt that representation will be equal. An East USAPA pilot will sell a West pilot down the road tommorrow. As long as it benefits them. East wants nothing more than for all the West guys to disappear.
