Wow, I was getting worried, as I received three auto-dial calls from ALPA in the past week (including this morning), encouraging me to vote. Thought that was an indicator of poor participation as the deadline loomed. This is really good news, and a powerful sledge to swing!

Hopefully, this will be on the national news tonight.

Those robo calls were all part of the pre-planned comm strategy

They were not surprised by the name of the ATL captain. My bet is he’s a “no” vote.
When that all settles out I bet it would be PTO.

ALPA should be running Ads with the 99% vote and picketing. Strongly suggesting customers book other airlines this holiday season in case we are released.

Maybe give our c-suite a 24-hour courtesy "heads-up". I agree with you...the union has yet to get devious and/or creative.

Go tell that captain to stick his hat up his tail one.
