I think most of you missed the point. A few of the early posters got it.

This isn't about whether the DAL FAs should or should not unionize (or be allowed to unionize according to some of you). It about whether the pilot group should publicly support this effort.

I don't work for DAL, so I have no dog in this fight. However, an early poster said it best when he said that a majority voted no, and the pilots pushing a union would be going against the wishes of the majority.

It's not wise for a labor group to interfere in another labor group's organizational efforts. It's kind of like when you're friends with a couple getting divorced and you take sides and say what a jerk the other spouse is. Then unexpectedly, the couple gets back together and you lose friends because the person you badmouthed is back and you're now the bad guy for badmouthing him. This is what it would be like if the pilots support unionization, but it fails.

If the FAs choose to unionize, it's their fight, and their fight only. If the effort goes through or not, the pilots should professionally support the FAs 100%, but let them fight their own fight. That's not being weak, that's being smart.
