How is the card total looking? The USAPA website says it removed the total. Does anyone know what it was before they removed it? How many cards do they need to have an official vote? Is there a deadline to get the cards or can they wait infefinitely?
"Mums the word"
You'll hear soon.
They need 35% of the combined pilot group to sign cards in order for a vote to take place. For the actual vote itself, 50% +1 vote of the combined pilot group would be required to decertify ALPA and put this USAPA nonsense in place. The cards expire one year after signing.
i think you are slightly wrong there. They need 50%+ 1 of the total pilots to sign a card in order to get the nmb to call a vote. Then it will just be a majority vote wins. So if 30% vote Alpa and 24% vote USAPA then alpa remains and there is a moretoreum on further votes for 2 years. I believe if it goes to a vote and less than 25% of the membership votes either way then we lose all union representation.
Bad move all around. I think it is driven by anger and bitterness rather than a sound business decision. Hopefully most pilots will consider their family's future before costing themselves thousands by voting in USAPA.
