Just wondering what everyone thinks about the union drive this year. I was a mere new hire when the drive took place last year and through the majority of it was up in CRW ... I'm not in Houston a year and a half later, and the feelings down in IAH are relatively mixed. I think from what I can tell slightly more people are favoring ALPA, but just about everyone I have talked to just says "we need SOMETHING". I completely agree, and am kind of on the fence as to which one I want.

I know both of them have pros and cons, and I know by a long shot that ALPA is a much bigger and theoretically more powerful union. Not to mention it's the same union Pineapple Express (sorry Pinnacle guys/gals, couldn't resist ) has, and if we do eventually end up merging (I have heard NOTHING that would lead to such an idea, just speculating), from what I have read it wouldn't matter which union we had anyway, we would end up with ALPA.

Any thoughts, comments, concerns, insults (be gentle), constructive criticism, etc. Just want to get an idea of what everyone thinks about both unions and which would be better.
