The flip side is don't release the results and those on the "losing" side will question ALPA's integrity and motives. I think trust among the union membership is more important than tipping our hand in negotiations. People live in their own echo chamber. The pilots who think they want a DB probably think a majority of the pilots agree with them, and the same can also be said for those who do not want a DB. Just release the results and end the debate so we can proceed with a unified goal.
