In your opinion would rescinding positive space be enough to move the needle on the union issue vote?

In order to have enough of a drive to hit that 50% threshold you'd have to have a combination of you guys getting huge improvements (and us not getting anything comparable), take PS commuting away while other airlines keep it, other FA groups getting considerable improvements, and a few negative changes to work rules. If all these things happen then "maybe" it can get to that 50% threshold.

Looking at some NB daily trip coverages, I would expect a lot more Inverse Assignments and GSWCs this weekend. Seems to me that either crew scheduling became overwhelmed or just gave up. Not sure why those tools wouldn't be used otherwise.
