Q&A: Do I have to vote if I am voting yes?

Q: I was told by another flight attendant that if I am a yes vote that I don’t need to vote because “not voting is an implied yes”. She said anyone who doesn’t vote gets counted as a yes. Is this true?

A: That information is incorrect.  The TA failing or passing is based on the number of Flight Attendants who cast their votes.

50% plus 1 of those voting yes or no.  You need to actively vote for your vote to count.
