Many didn’t vote for their base reps so I don’t see them showing up to vote for a union. If they don’t care who represents us, them voting yes could make a big difference.
I am one of those that don’t give two ******s who represents us. But I do vote.
I have been told it would be unethical for ALPA National to tell AA pilots why we should support the merger efforts. But honestly, until I hear why from someone other than AA pilots about why we should switch, I won’t be convinced.
If ALPA National can’t/won’t create a campaign to court us, then I would need a third-party, deep-dive explanation of the pros and cons to make an informed decision.
My friends at UA and DAL all gripe about the same things we do with regard to their union/leadership.
So, I am in the “devil you know” camp.
But I am just one vote… so who cares, right?
