The NMB Representation manual states: (Section 3-2) The age of the signatures of the authorizations must be dated within one year of the date of the application for the NMB's services.
When did the decertification effort at FlexJet start?
I believe the NMB has already verified the aging.
Unfortunately at this point the vote will happen regardless of the very, very shady history of the card drive.
The best thing we can all hope for, industry wide, is for pilots to realize everything that rides on this decision.
Your vote, unlike your card, is 100% Anonymous. There can be no personal retribution for your vote. Management or your fellow pilots will never know your vote. However, keep in mind there could be broad brush retribution if we put our colleagues elsewhere at risk.
While I think there needs to be more vocal support for our union, if you feel the need to privately vote union but publically remain neutral or pro company, so be it.
Also, your vote cannot be rescinded. Once you sit down to vote be aware of the consequences of those few minutes because they could determine the rest of your career.
Summary:
1 ) your vote is completely Anonymous
2 ) your vote is final
