Default Has ALPA done anything for you EVER?

It seems to me they cant fix a cup of coffee.
With all the issues at the regional level, isnt it THEIR responsibility?

Why havent they done anything, and why does everyone keep paying their dues?

Well, I got the free pizza, a lanyard, the extra five years at a regional, two furloughs, first year pay... but to be fair... Block or Better, Min Day, No more than 14 hours scheduled. Not an awesome trade but hey, I've never actually made it to a dues paying year....

CASS will be nice to have.

Plus Hoffa doesn't have my address and my flight schedule.

Yes the sweet 65 rule. I do believe that falls under the term of self serving for ALPA.

ALPA has managed an orderly retreat.

ALPA bought me a cup of coffee at Starbucks in SLC once when they were making the SKW push.

ALPA savagely negotiated a $22/hr first year pay at my airline.
