I don't think we'll get the N policy unless the FAs vote in a union.
IMHO, we use up tons of our negotiating capital for the non-unionized FAs with every single "perk" we negotiate. The company has to factor in the cost of giving the FAs everything we negotiate, to keep the stews happy and non-unionized.
No way the company can afford give the FAs that call in honest policy, so we won't get either.
Once the FAs start negotiating for themselves, hopefully it will open up more room for us to negotiate improvements since we will no longer be effectively negotiating for us AND the FAs.
I think I'll donate to the FA union drive.
