I don't really care how the rules were changed in 2010 -- the fact is that only 69% voted for representation. Not 86%.
Regardless of NMB rules, the CWA will need to deal with the fact that 30% of their members at AA didn't want them there.

Which by definition means not one city or station could have swung the vote
Not entirely true under the old rules, which is why the unions wanted it changed.
At 100% voting, and assuming every non-vote was a no, the margin slims down to only ~2700 votes. One station couldn't swing that, but two certainly could.
Regardless, it's settled until the CWA fails to perform, and they need to remember it only take each of those No or non-voters to convince just one of their friends who did vote yes to decertify.
With those percentages, the TWU would have been decertified years ago.
