They'll be a pre-packaged, focus tested, corporate-speak release when the results come in.
Then crickets until/unless the mediator ever releases the parties to seek self help.

Any way we can shoot to get release in Jan or Feb? I just don’t want to de-ice this much this year.

Haha, good plan. But honestly we should move as aggressively as possible to get released. I think it's the only way to show the company and the public that we're serious about striking.

Calling the vote seems like a formality in the negotiating process. Can anyone give a reason to vote not in favor for the strike authorization?
Voting in favor = “duh, of course I want a new contract”
Voting NOT in favor = “ … ” ???

Voting NOT in favor = "I trust management more than my own union and I'm happy with the way things are."

Sadly I am bracing for an underwhelming performance too. The last vote I was apart of was the Pinnacle vote (86% turn out, 99% yes). Our current pilot group on the whole isn’t as angry as the Pinnacle pilots were, and it’s not close.

Im a new guy. In a couple hundred hours on the line I am having a blast. I have also only met one (jump seater) who I even remotely think voted No. I can’t speak to the other FOs, but I bet you see a lot more Alpa lanyards if the vote goes well.
Delta has led the way for a lot of years. The grass isn't objectively greener elsewhere unless you believe corporate spin. I am not going to throw spears at anyone but delta is by far the least screwed up passenger carrier.
Vote yes with support, guys. Ill help out as soon as I am off probation.

Hopefully all delta pilots received the robocall from our negotiating chairman today. As I pointed out last week, the numbers of pilots who have voted aren’t good. He is almost begging people to vote. Apathy is going to destroy us in our negotiations.
