The local 108 website lists 239 registered members as of today. I'm sure there are some members who are not registered on the union website but likely not very many considering the current need for timely information. I'm assuming that all 239 registered members (and the dozen or so members who are not registered online) are out on strike. And I bet that all non-members are at work.

There were about 570 pilots on the seniority list before the strike (including about a dozen management types who keep their flight status current). I'm arriving at less than 50 percent of the pilots on strike. Or, put another way, less than 50 percent support for the union's position. No matter what the outcome of this strike, the union leadership has some soul searching to do as to why that is.

By the way, the union website listed about 330 members at the beginning of this month.
