Atlas Worldwide Crewmembers,
The NMB has just announced that we have sufficient authorization cards; thus the NMB is holding an election to resolve the dispute as to which organization shall represent the crewmembers of Atlas Worldwide Holdings. The Company now has five days to supply everyone's address on labels so that the balloting materials can be mailed out. The voting will be by internet and telephone. We have requested that the NMB election period remain open for 30 days in order to allow everyone a chance to vote. It is very important that everyone vote so that each crewmember is counted, so that every voice is heard in favor of representation.
ALPA is desperate to keep its dues base. You can expect to hear them attack the Teamsters and beg for another chance. Again, this election is about dedicated representation. ALPA has neither the structure nor the history to provide representation for small carriers. The Teamsters do.
Attached is the NMB finding.

ALPA cannot be fixed. I am ready to remove ALPA by

Voting for Teamsters

I invite you to join me and form a true trade union.
Dave Allen, Chairman

Looks like it's coming to a conclusion.
