Every time I tell someone I'm an airline pilot they think I'm making $80k or more a year.
I sometimes wonder if ALPA does not want to upset mainline by showing the American public how little their pilots make. Is there a conflict of interest here?
It isn't what ALPA does or does not want to do. That implies they care. Which they don't. They're sitting in their office buildings and widebody left seats raking in the cash trying to remember exactly what a "Pinnacle" is.
