Just keep an AMFA card current within the last 12 months.
The Line AMT's will never sign the Teamsters cards and without them, there will never be a filing.
I know AMFA will file once the correct number of signed is reached. I suspect the Teamsters will never file against the alliance partner. They are only here to attempt dilution of support for AMFA.
Looks like you have a campaign on your hands. Have you heard or seen any statements from the TWU?

To the Mechanics and Related of American Airlines
I am writing you today to address the many rumors and speculation both on the floor and internet in recent days as to whether or not the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is conducting an organizing campaign for the mechanic and related class and craft at AA.
Let me set the record straight for those who have any questions or doubts. We are running an organizing campaign and we intend to win the campaign. It is our goal to provide you with an outstanding level of representation.
I want to be clear about a few things from the outset. We want and look forward to be your representative at the bargaining table and your voice in the industry. We welcome you and invite you to become part of a voice of over 30,000 mechanics and over 80,000 Airline Division members; men and women who stand as a force within our industry – and who are backed by over 1.4 million Teamsters across our great nation. Together, we will be a force whose voice and presence will be felt at your bargaining table, across the industry and in the halls of Congress and the FAA.
Our organizing office in Tulsa is up and running and we have already had our first round of informational meetings there. We have organizers in Tulsa and on the West Coast that will be coming to the remaining hub cities shortly to meet with you personally.
To keep you informed of your progress, we have set up an AA mechanic web page at: www.teamster.org/aamx as well as a texting tree to get you real‐time updates. To sign up for alerts, just text AAMECH to 64336.
The outpouring of support and your positive response has been overwhelming. I look forward to winning this campaign with you and having the honor of representing your future needs.
Sincerely,
David P. Bourne, Director
Teamsters Airline Division
