Sink,

I honestly didn't care enough to get that deep into it. I think AFA was being forced on the south FAs because AFA was who represented the north FAs. If you look at the results, there was a higher than anticipated NO vote on the north side and why I think it's the old PFAA crowd working step one of their long range plan.

I don't remember the PFAA being all that popular, but again, I never cared enough to look at it closely. There has always been a big fight between the old Teamsters, those wanting an inhouse union (PFAA) and then AFA. I'm enough of a good business major to believe that unions aren't necessary in a perfect world (that includes ours). But, I also work in this industry and I'm glad I have one........we have another thread to debate which one.

Maybe an inhouse union is something the south FAs can get behind, you know them better than I. Like I said, I predict about a year after the AFA goes down (and I think they will) they will get that chance. Just another chapter to this story.
