By not telling the flight attendants that they are stupid if they vote union. Yes I have heard this.
In a recent poll on the questions of unionization, flight attendants said that pilots are 3rd on the list of people they listen to after Family members and close friends.
Good point Flight Attendants listen to pilots because they trust them. I feel that trying to manipulate a Flight Attendant's decision is a betrayal of that trust. Each and every Flight Attendant will make that very personal decision when the polls open, nor I or you has ANY right to attempt to influence that decision.
It appears that you are trying to draw a line in the sand between pilots and flight attendants. Furthermore, you seem to be implying that we are either with you or against you. I know you don't speak for every flight attendant, but if this is the type of attitude you are conveying then you may need to do some of "soul-searching".
Basically it will come down to a vote, so let the democratic process of voting run it's course.
