I don't know what's in the FA Crew Lounge, but the argument the vote was influenced by painting vote reminders on the Crew Bus seems laking any merit what so ever.
The AFA lost this vote because they failed to focus on the fundamentals. The AFA failed to explain a union's relevance is it's ability to bring together workers to prevent outsourcing.
If I was running the AFA drive, I'd make a poster (including pay) of Singapore's Cabin Staff on one side and Delta's on the other and ask, "if neither has a union, which would you keep?"

Singapore Girls
1. Singapore Airlines
Over 40 years ago, Singapore Airlines initiated a marketing campaign designed to elevate its flight attendants, the "Singapore girls", to icon status. And the campaign paid off. The Singapore Airlines flight attendants, who generally hail from Singapore or Malaysia, have picked up "World's Best Cabin Crew Service" gong from the Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards for 17 consecutive years, received the most commendations from our survey of readers ("They're beautiful!" Nicole wrote), and even landed a spot in Madame Tussaurds wax museum.
We definitely think looks play a part in the Singapore girl appeal. USA Today's narrated slideshow reveals the company's strong emphasis on personal grooming, including a deportment class where the girls learn to walk. And the Singapore girl uniform is a striking, figure hugging batik top and skirt, known as sarong kebaya and has little changed since its 1972 implementation.
But looks aside, it is also the attendants' reputed grace, warmth and extra-mile service that usually has passengers crushing. "The difference between a Singapore girl and most other airlines," one instructor of the four-month training school in Singapore explained, "is that when you ask for a blanket a Singapore girl will unwrap it and put it over you rather than just hand you the plastic wrapped blanket."

If you honestly want to watch real college football then find a good division 3 team near you and go to their games. Lots of fun and you can see actual student athletes playing sports.
