Whose side is ALPA on? Why would I give money to the PAC when I don't know where ALPA stands on issues? Why don't they ever poll their members to see what the membership thinks?
1. ALPA is on ALPA's side, that's all.
2. ALPA won't poll its members, because they are not in the business of caring what you think, they are in the business of telling you what you should think. In fact, they would prefer that you didn't think (or ask questions) at all. Just sign up for dues checkoff, and let the machine run. Also, you shouldn't be reading those publications. They are written by highly enlightened persons, operating at a higher level.
