I personally am for representation..and I think 90% of the pilots are. The only question is which one..ALPA has tried before and it was very close..I think 4 or 5 votes. Teamsters got shot down. An in house version was shot down BAD (for various reasons centering around the people doing the organizing).

We have a few United guys left, I think if the vote is done quickly.we may get the needed votes...

Problem are the new a--clowns who don't know jack, a few anti-organized labor types who have been burned in the past and general apathy from our group.

It's not bad at SW. Actually, I think everyone is happy. That's the problem. Management keeps it just toloralble enough not to **** everyone off but low enough so management can have a 3rd house in Aspen. We don't have any illusions about getting rich flying an rj, but we don't want to be flying A320's or 737's for $90 an hour either.

I think 66% of the pilots will vote ALPA if done within 6 months.
