Sleepy -

Does the MEC or ALPA National have "real time" access to the current vote tally?

(i.e. number who have voted, percentage of yes/no votes)

If so, is any/all of this data being shared with the company in any manner?

How is the final talley released from the company who tallies the vote to ALPA National and then down to our MEC?

Thanks in advance for answering these very basic procedural questions on how electronic voting works.

Respectfully,

DLax

No problem this isn't about DH this is about:

"In a few cases, the questions have made both sides go back and rethink areas that were never discussed or have implications never considered"

It can't be 30 days invols because supposedly that was the plan all along. What are the "rethunk" areas or shouldn't we know?

Although I am waiting for Capt Mark's sources to come through.

The best venue is face to face, then telephone, then email, then here. That is why we are trying to get the hubturns out there, we had the town hall meeting, etc. The reps and communications are working on trying to answer the questions.

I figured as much, I was just trying to underscore the point in our forum community of another possibility of getting good comm. Thx.

Actually, I'll repeat the question, since you can't seem to understand it. Instead of spouting off on an anonymous internet board, have you ever talked to your block rep? Every time I have talked to mine, or e-mailed him, I have gotten an answer. I don't always like the answer, but I have gotten one.

Disclaimer- I am not, nor ever have been a union official. I also voted against FPA integrating with ALPA, due to issues with ALPA at another carrier from 16 years ago. However, the ALPA (and formerly FPA) officials don't deserve half the C%%p you guys throw at them. If you won't even talk to your union, you have no basis to say a damn thing.
