F. ALPA APPRENTICE INSIGNIA (1/2 WINGS)
SOURCE - Executive Board May 1988; AMENDED - Executive Board September 1988
The Vice President-Administration/Secretary shall distribute the ALPA lapel emblem to all
present and future Apprentice members, however, since Active members may need some means
of identifying Apprentice members so that they can offer special attention to those who do not
have full protection under the collective bargaining agreement, and it is recognized that there
may be some legitimate reasons for variations in these needs from airline to airline as
circumstances dictate, the requirement for Apprentice members to wear only the ALPA "halfwing"
emblem is to be at the option of the individual MECs according to their wish and custom.


I am curious to what the story is too!
