Meanwhile the company is in Ch11, the proceedings are not going as easily as they hoped, company is still bleeding cash, pilots are bailing left and right for higher ground, and bond holders will soon own the airline outright, their plans unknown.
But sure…let’s act like it’s 2023 and the big concern being more money vs voting it down.

It's even worse! It's 69% of the voters, not 69% of the eligible voters!
In the last 5 elections the president was voted in by (very rough estimate) 20% of the population, 35% of the eligible voters, and %50 of the voters. ( I know, electoral college).
Saying it was a minority that got the win is a total failure of understanding how elections work. I have often wondered why we don't let new hires vote, but we let people in their last year vote. But with half of the new hires leaving within 2 years, it is hard to call them more invested.
