[QUOTE=X Rated;601141]...ask a former TWA pilot what ALPA did for them and you'd be surprised.
Don't limit yourself to a former TWA pilot. Let's look at the past 20-30 years. Braniff 1, Braniff 2, Eastern, Pan Am, Midway, Usair, Pensions, Stock, Bonds, the age 60 rule that I think most pilots were against, and the most shicking is what was done behind the backs of the TWA pilots.
The volunteers are great, but in todays reality I think pilots would be hard pressed to think of 10 items directly related to ALPA that is or was good for their career, and yet I think they would have no problem finding 10 items that was bad for their career.
