While PMNW was union and PMDL was not, there were many PMNW FAs that voted no and many PMDL FAs that voted yes.

There is also more than simply earning money with the union - things such as work rules were a big part of it. A very veteran NW FA would rather have all their flights on a line rather than dealing with A Days as PMDL FAs have.

To simplify it would be an injustice to each side.

(fwiw, this is said by someone who sided with the "No Way AFA" camp...)

What do you mean "work rules"? How were NW FA unionized work rules different then Delta non-union FA's? curious about details

And what do you mean by "flights on a line" vs "A days"?

Trying to catch up and understand..
