Chuck I have also thought the same that if there is no intervenor producing the 50% plus 1 then there will be no vote. The NMB has stated as such. It is only the 2 unions involved saying there will be a vote. How many times in the past has these 2 unions lied to you guys? It's another scam by the unions to trick or mislead the membership in order to stop the card collections for AMFA. Why? you ask, so that nobody will sign and send in enough cards to get AMFA on the ballot, therefore there would be no vote, therefore this association BS will be blessed by the NMB if there is no intervenor with 50% plus1 to be put on the ballot as there would be no ballot. It is their (the 2 unions TWU and IAM) last chance on keeping AMFA out or off the ballot to ensure they will prevail with this complete useless association they are so hardly fighting to keep within the airline mechanic ranks. This is their absolutely last chance of survival to stay with the mech
anics ranks within the airline industry and they know this and will do anything and everything to keep their stay, INCLUDING lying and giving misinformation and complete confusion to the membership to scare them into voting for this association BS. Chuck I honestly hope all the
members will in fact see thru this crap and sign the cards and send them in and let a true democratic vote happen to see what the membership really wants. These 2 unions as well as AA are scared to death if AMFA gets on the ballot and they have proven this over time and time again by all their antics by all parties to keep AMFA from getting in over the years. This is the time for you guys to make the move, get it done, sign the cards, get them in at let the membership decide. It does not hurt the membership one iota to get AMFA on the ballot, in fact it will help the membership as it will give choices instead of being forced into this association BS or forced non-union (what a joke of a union to threaten that) it is because they are soooo desperate. Sign the cards guys, get AMFA on the ballot. The membership will still have to vote in order for the representation to be legal, but at least you guys will have a choice and not be forced into something that nobody wants for the rest of your careers...
