Outside of that, it is time to come together. Quit trying to delay everything, get on board, and lets make this thing work. The longer that you hold out(RPC/FAPA, ETC) the longer it will take to get you back what you guys deserve.
Interesting spin , during the election the IBT campaigned that "a failure to vote equals a vote for no union". Now a person that skips the vote is considered a "yes" vote for the IBT?

The IBT earned 1600/2900 votes. Period, end of story.

FAPA members voted for RPC, the 13 that voted for FAPA apparently live on another planet.

It was time to come together, now it is time for the Local 357 to walk the walk. One voice, one list, one contract. Let's see some action behind all the hyperbole.

Only time will tell if we can work together, or if it will be like throwing a tennis ball against a brick wall.
The latter it will be.

What about the 500 eligible voters that didn't take the time to vote?

FAPA had +95% participation.

Several hundred current IBT members are impressed with their current representation that they couldn't even be bothered to vote.

RAH has 2946 eligible pilots, IBT received 1692 votes.

55% want the IBT, 45 % want anything but the IBT.

What's it like to be the ToiletDuck of the former FAPpers?

I would imagine it sucks. I'm as embarrassed for you as I am for him, and trust me, I've done some things, and I don't embarrass easily.

This pretty much ended down party lines. Percentage is about where I thought it would be.

Bolo, your attitude continues to impress me every day. Take a day or two to be bitter, then get your head in the game, figure out who the real enemy is and join the team. Either that or put your damn resume. We don't need that here anymore. Your leadership did what they thought was best for you, it didn't work. In the end I think you'll be no worse off for it but it is what is. What kind of man are you going to be? What kind of example are you going to be to "less experienced" pilots? Right now it's one we will ignore.

Ahahahahaha!!!! IBT wins...awesome. The Frontier pilots have done nothing to work with the RAH pilots from day one, and you think there's a fat chance in hell any Republic pilot with common sense would vote for the "RPC" aka. FAPA?? I think its great IBT won the vote, because it speaks volumes about our unity. But honestly, I hope F9 goes Ch. 7 in the next year or two and their pilots go with it.

55% is still greater than 45%. No amount of spin is going to change the results. Your biggest asset to the new group as a whole is experience and the ability to get the vote out. We knew your participation would be high. Now that we are all one (finally) you need to keep the momentum going as there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. If RPC unity is what you really want, push for that unity behind the IBT. If it stops the true colors will really be known. What is your choice. Sore loser or a man of your words?

I have already been working towards unity under the IBT, with the 357 Exco.
