The results are about 98% anti-ALPA, 1% for, 1% don't care either way.
I'll spare you my reasons why I personally wouldn't vote for them, but I will support JBPA. I'm already registered but I won't be able to make the meeting.
An in-house union will be much more accepted by the pilot group here than ALPA. If we can't agree on what kind of representation we want, the pilot group will never be unified.
