Dear ALPA Member:

Pursuant to Article IX, Section 14D(2) of the ALPA Constitution and By-Laws, when the cash balance of the Major Contingency Fund (MCF) drops below $69 million in 2009, I am required to report on the status of the MCF to the membership on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2009, the MCF balance is below $69 million. The following is a report on the total income of the fund, the committed authorized allocations from the fund, the amount expended per authorization to date, and the balance of uncommitted money in the fund.

The MCF has experienced a year-to-date fair market value gain on investments totaling $3,071,923 through June 30, 2009. Also, the MCF has earned $746,809 in interest and dividend income and $8,756 in other income, and received a $75,000 contribution as a result of the merger with the AirTran pilots.

Current authorized commitments from the MCF and the amount expended to-date for MEC and project authorized allocations include:

Not sure you needed to post this. I think every ALPA pilot got this email today.

Yep...mandatory assessment to begin shortly as required. Funny, there were people elsewhere who predicted it would happen in the third quarter of this year and were summarily dismissed as malcontents.

And continue to be dismissed, because they dont really have any idea of how or what the MCF does. But since you are an active volunteer in ALPA please enlighten us, unless you are the 80% that sit on the sideline and preach, similar to the kooks on the corner in timesquare.
