True Delta dropped their PIC time officially, but how many FOs without it do you know of that got hired, unless they REALLY knew someone? Some were hired, but not nearly as many as those that had their resumes thrown out.
As for JetBlue, yes some people went there, but only after they too dropped the PIC requirement, which happened to coincide with the whole situation over there looking a lot less rosy, in order to attract applicants.
End of the day, TPIC time trumps any type of SIC time.

Just remind them to vote, regardless. Everyone that chooses not to vote at all is the same as voting against ALL union options.
