So, during the recall vote, the West could only scare up 700 pilots (<50%) to vote out their arch nemesis, Bradford? Small kudos for solidarity with a 98% vote to oust him, I guess. But based upon the voting results from the East bases, they could've gotten their way on every ballot item if they could have produced a turnout like they had for the MOU vote. Heck, even the East, which has no shortage of apathy, had respectable turn out for the recall.
Perhaps the west rank and file, with their valued contract boosted with respectable (relatively speaking) pay rates, have collectively put down their spears and arrows and gone back to living their lives? Might be a little tough to refill the AOL war chest this time...
Soon the historic Leonidas "300" might become an ironically accurate number describing the AOL ranks.
IMHO of course,
