They've conceded defeat.....for now. I'm sure they're just planning their strategy to hose us during contract negotiations.

Maybe Buddy and his buddies figured out that the smear and disinformation campaign was not working and actually costing them support. When corporate leadership (?) tried to come up with something of substance that would expouse the positive aspects of a non-union property, they simply came up empty. Hence the recent deafening silence which speaks volumes.

As the say in Chicago, vote early and vote often.

There are lots of people who are still on the fence about this issue. It's certainly not unexpected. ALPA is not a FANTASTIC union by any stretch of the imagination ... neither is Teamsters for that matter. But any union is better than no union at all. We need representation as a whole! Don't give in to managements BS letters telling you what "will happen" if you vote in ALPA.

I certainly hope "a lot" of pilots undecided is an overstatement. It is more important now than ever, that we understand how important our decision is. What a failure it would be to allow mistreatment of an entire pilot group to continue. Now is our time to stay positive and keep our fellow pilots informed!

I have no way of backing up if a "lot" is an overstatement, but I hope it is. I merely said that to exaggerate my point to get it across. We need representation to back us up as a whole!
