I think they will be forced to pay but not be ALPA members?
The nonmembers will get the bonus if this is voted in because the case law precedent shows that the union can and will be sued by pilots for not paying them. I’m not a lawyer. But I think the best way to not get sued for distribution of a signing bonus is split it evenly between everyone who is eligible to vote. And personally if you are on property before the end of vote closing I think you deserve a vote. You’ll potentially have to work under this agreement going forward.
That isn’t necessarily the best way to incentivize a yes vote though.
