I ask because I haven't heard that a vote has been called by the AFA. I don't know the reason for this, nor do I know whether they're afraid of the outcome. Regardless, it's not clear to me whether the lack of integration behind the cockpit door delays SOC, or not.
Anyone with a clue on this matter?
AFA is dragging their feet on a vote because there are attempts in congress to repeal or change methods used to count votes in a union election. The current rules require 50 Percent plus one of the total of all flight attendants to vote for a union. The rule may change to 50 percent plus one of the total ballots cast. There is also another attempt to have a union certified based on the number of union cards submitted without a actual vote. Both of these changes would be very favorable to AFA hence the feet dragging.
