The acpa mec posted their wawcon numbers. See acpa mec bulletin #27 on the acpa site, dated July 01 2010.
Your suggestion does not even suggest acpa has the correct data. Please...look at the numbers, of those who responed to the entire surrvey, and the total number of pilots who could have responded. This is to the entire survey, not just the age 60 issue(s).
This is from the acpa bulletin sent out to all the pilots.

Fellow Pilots:
I will provide just a very brief report in this holiday week.
WAWCONThank you once again for providing your input through the WAWCON survey. The Wilson Center, which
conducted the survey and is in the process of analyzing the results, reports that a total of 1,880 pilots
completed the survey, for a participation rate of 58 per cent. This is a good turnout, as the Wilson Center has
been getting closer to 50 per cent participation in surveys of pilots at other companies. They also report that
the demographics of our sample are very good, with strong participation from all ranks and bases.
Once complete, the Wilson Center’s analysis will be reported through our WAWCON Committee and the
results will be used by our Negotiating Committee to create our bargaining strategy and priorities as we move
forward over the summer

It would serve all those who are opposed to the age 60 issue, to get real, honest information from acpa, and from their Age 60 Committee. When you get it, please, post it here, so we can all see the light of day.
Of the 58 percent who bothered to reply, only 80% of them were in favor of fighting the age 60 issue. So, 80% of 58% (of the total pilots) is the actual number, that expressed as personal desire to continue the fight, at the risk of loosing WAWCON gains, what a joke. This is less numbers, than the IVR vote in May of 2006. acpa, is screwing you over, and using your dues to do it with, does that not cause any of you to be concerned that you are not getting proper representation, and that the majority of the pilots do not want to trade bargining power, for the age 60 issue.
AC is doing exacatly what they planned, they have the pilots fighing each other, so that they will blow off contract gains, to get some pie in the sky result, that the laws of the land will shoot down very soon.
Over a decade of downhill sliding due to seniority fighting, pension fighing, and now the age 60 issue. Ever wonder why ac is so against the age 60 issue??? It will save them money if it was changed. They know they have lost, yet they spoon feed acpa and the pilots in general. What a loss for ALL the pilots.
