I think the idea that every nickel of Delta dues MUST be used for Delta pilots runs contrary to the concept of organized labor standing together for progress.
I for one am proud that some of my dues money supported the Spirit pilots and I expect the DAL negotiations will be a little easier because of the progress made by the Spirit pilots.
It's hard to have a great career in a declining profession. It's hard to have a great profession in a screwed up industry.
Therefore:
I support ALPA's efforts to work with Washington and Wall Street and virtually whomever else is necessary to stabilize the industry, and
I support ALPA's efforts to work across the various airline pilot groups to restore the profession.
