Incorrect. You can start a decert drive with 35% of the pilot group signing cards and then a simple majority can vote to decertify.

AirTran pilots favored ALPA in my opinion because the IBT simply doesn't specialize in representing pilots and our independent union was a mess. I think you'll find that most pilots have been very happy with the decision so far. It's a 10 fold improvement after just the first couple of months.
