If the AFA is voted in we pilots will never get a crew meal. The south fa's will not be able to feed their cats with the new union dues deducted from their paychecks. Our crew meals will become cat food.

Flight Attendant vote: 51%-49% AGAINST AFA. Over 18000 participated.

Heyas,

Not to call it after the fact, but this is what I suspected.

Another two years of paying twice for contract improvements because "we need to give it to the FAs also".

Sigh...

Nu

That was close, as I figured it would be. I do not know what the breakdown was, but I am sure the ATL FA's voting en mass probably gave the "No's" a slight edge.

Looks like the AFA is fighting this as well.

That's right... I'm the man;)

I know, party foul for quoting myself

I never intimated this would be good for you and I. I was implying that it would be good for the stock per the previous post.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Flight attendants at Delta Air Lines (DAL:$14.355,0$0.5050,3.65%) voted against organizing themselves into a collective bargaining unit, and ended 60 years of unionization at its Northwest Airlines unit, the Association of Flight Attendants said Wednesday. According to the union, Delta (DAL:$14.355,0$0.5050,3.65%) flight attendants voted 9,544 against AFA representation, versus 8,778 in favor. Shares of Delta (DAL:$14.355,0$0.5050,3.65%) , which have been down a fraction most of the day, reversed direction and added 5 cents to $13.91.

I think it's more like 48-52.

Not thrilled at all that I'm sitting short call in DTW tomorrow and am very likely to be used. I'm sure the mood up there will be nothing short of toxic. Here's hoping everyone can just move on, but I know better...

Stock is up $0.53 since the announcement.
