I would be interested to hear what percentage of the pilot groups at UA/DL voted compared to American, otherwise your statement hold no merit.
Ummm, like 95+% voted when we had our strike vote, and 90+% voted during the contract ratification.
Why would we not vote for something as important as our jobs.
Again, if the pilot group is disengaged, you’ll probably get a terrible contract because people don’t care enough to be informed. And yes, part of this is APA’s fault for not knowing where/how AA pilots lag the industry, and how to get pilots motivated, mobilized to act, and to vote accordingly.
