2750 on the seniority list as of bid packet 06-03, figure 150 on probation ie: unable to vote, so 2600 voting, 51% is 1326 bodies that the company has to buy out to get ratification. Don't think they don't know this.
Take a close look at the demographics of the pilot group and see who has the bigger dog in the fight. A-plan vs F/O pay restoration, it doesn't matter as long as the company gets their 1326.
Food for thought.
