Prior to this election, the Pilots were not represented by any labor union, employee association, organization with bargaining rights, or similar organization. Following the election, the Board concluded that a sufficient number of Pilots had voted in favor of certifying SMART as their representative under the RLA and, as such, SMART has been duly designated and authorized to represent the Pilots for purposes of the RLA.
