The headline here is that 67% of 53% of AA pilots are mostly or strongly in favor of the BoD exploring a possible merger.
Nobody is committed to anything. We just want to ask questions and get more information at this point.
"Manipulation of words" That's APA's motto right there.
Who is going to vote for it unless they want it no matter how many word games APA plays with the questions? You can safely assume if somebody voted yes, they are for the merger.
53% of the pilot group responding to a single (maybe two) email asking them to fill out an online survey is a HUGE turnout. Ask all these research companies what it means when over half of the people respond to an unsolicited survey request. Now APA is trying to spin that to the fact they have overwhelming support??? lol, GTFO
Now APA is playing games again and pushing this out to next year. "we voted yes but not really, just kicking the can down the road" What a dysfunctional **** show.
