So...what happens if 35% of the combined workforce is not represented by a union?

I ask....as at the rate that DL is hiring new FAs.......if those approximate numbers listed (15K DL and 8K NW) are close to an accurate representation of the number of FAs that currently work for DL and NW, then DL will eventually have more than twice as many FAs as NW........quite likely before the two workgroups are merged.

A.J.

Edit: As it stands right now with those numbers......the 8000 NW FAs would already amount to less than 35% of the total number of FAs.
