Ive not seen anything official on this topic, but I would like to see 24J deleted and that funding sent directly to pilots in the form of extra pay. Then our dues should increase in proportion to that exact same amount such that take home pay is not affected. FPL still gets sent to union officers doing union work, but it's DIRECTLY funded by the dues of the members. Our current 24J is an invitation to misrepresentation.

My pay check says Delta on it, but my loyalty 's not purchased by my pay check, my pay check is a contractual requirement.
Don't know if my above post changes your view. I really think my proposal makes for a more honest and accountable system.
