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.

I agree that if the FA's were unionized it would be easier for us to get it. I hate the fact that we negotiate all of their added perks. If they knew that they would never want AFA in!
