Default IBT wins Representation election at Republic

The votes have been counted. There were 2946 eligible voters. 1692 voted for the IBT.

Best of luck to the IBT Airline Division and Local 357. I am not sure what they can do in an effort to bring the 1300 pilots that did not vote for the IBT over to their side, but I hope they have some positive and productive ideas.

If you were RAH management and over 40% of your pilots publicly showed their lack of support for the representation, would you exploit the rift?

They do, but will those ideas be received by a spiteful pilot group that is interested in being like a child throwing temper tantrums?

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

You just summed up the IBT in two words. Why work collaboratively towards the development of something that actually works when we can just impose our will on everyone.

They do? What are these great ideas and why have they been kept secret?

You are the one causing divisiveness. The election is over. Take your shared account and go away now.

yes, but only 2439 voted. Therefor, there are really only 747 that said no to the IBT. Please post all the facts. Also, why don't you include that FAPA only got 13. ALPA got more than FAPA.

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.

Are you comparing Republic to Usair Easties?

No. And apparently, every post must be 10 characters.
