And he also knows that when the person who headed up ALPA travel found out and blew the whistle, that person got fired.

Sure hope there's no paper trail... really stinks when that happens.

Don't expect an honest answer back from him. He'll jump on this one to trash talk me and my airline who got tired of his lies and decerted ALPA. Got a real nice contract after we did too. Funny what happens when your union doesn't sandbag you. Double digit pay raises and growth...20.1% profit sharing...anyone seen that in an ALPA contract lately? On 1.56% dues?

In fairness, we did have to give up one thing. We no longer have a union president who is too good to talk to the masses. We have to put up with a Division Director who actually works with pilots, mechanics, dispatchers and others. Speaks to them daily. And when there is a strike, all those people ALPA considers to be "lesser" stand with us. And he does all that for a lot less money and no fancy car or driver. He drives himself in his own car that he bought and paid for.
