About time the IBT for off their ass.
Perhaps. This tells me they don't have enough cards to call for an election at Flex. I really didn't think they'd file, at least until it was a last resort. Otherwise why go through all the trouble of a card drive if they were going to file anyway? It's really tough to tell what will happen, there are certainly people who will vote pro union that didn't send in a card and vice versa.
Yeah, I don't think so... If you go to the other boards you'll see they needed 50% of the flex pilots just to go single carrier anyway. It's a total combined pilot group for Single Carrier and there's no way a simple majority at FLT-OPS would carry the day. The IBT doesn't lose these things because they are so careful to make sure their lead is more than comfortable. That means they had a majority from both groups.
All this announcement really means for Flex guys is they got somewhere between the 50% they needed and the 75% they wanted. The only reason they brought in the FLT-OPS guys was to speed up the process. Now we'll get SLI done this year versus not even voting until early next year if they had waited for more cards.
Is the end of this year a realistic estimate to get all this done? Somehow I don't think it is going to be easy!
