What the Skywest OC won't tell you

[vtech]

The campaign started with a goal of getting 70% of the pilots to sign authorization cards.

The petition was filed with cards signed by less than 50% of the pilots.

What are the chances ALPA is going to be voted in?

Those cards do expire after a period of time. So could it be that once they had 50% they just sent them in. Because I remember they cards last fall came back around 64%. So possibly once they had 50% all over again, they just submitted them to get the process rolling. The last statement is pure speculation on my part. But, I have not met one member of the OC, especially at SKYW to hide info. or half a$$ the truth. There were times when I literally could not believe how blunt and honest they were. But that is just me.

The drive started Sep. 29, 2006.

The petition was filed Aug. 20, 2007.

There never was a card that was older than one year.

They never had 50% of the pilots to sign cards.

 

[Speedtape]

actually--they had much more than 50%!

Don't forget...........SAPA is gay.

vtech, where did you get this information? I heard that they had over 60%

He wouldn't know. He's wasting his finger energy. ALPA will be voted in, despite his desperate attempt to spin false news to confuse.

Well, for starters, the NMB counted the cards and you would not be voting right now if you had less than 50% interest. How do some of you come up with this stuff?

Nothing to see here, move along.

 

[OCP]

It only takes 35% to file a petition. THANKS FOR EXPOSING YOUR IGNORANCE.

anybody who would vote or not vote because of a "known" percentage of cards is weak minded.... think for yourself folks... what do you feel is best for our airline? its that easy! the end still seems so far away!!!! I bet the democrats wish we could hold national elections open this long!!!

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

Well . one way or the other Nov 6 is coming fast.

 

[BCpilot81]

What I have told SKYW pilots who told me they were on the fence over the past few days, Tuesday is right around the corner, kind of late in the game to not know. JUST VOTE. No matter what button you push, dont be apathetic about it.

"JUST VOTE"

The desperate plea of a failed ALPA drive.

The numbers aren't there to win and the OC knows it.

 

[amcnd]

how many cards were sent in, just for free food?

 

[vtech]

Well, at least every card that was signed at Loftie's is a solid vote for ALPA. NOT!

They will have a chance as long as Klen keeps sending out his letters.
