All flight pay loss paid out by management should go out to all pilots as increased compensation, then our dues should be raised by the exact same amount. This way union guys would still get their full flight pay loss, but that money would be coming from the pilots they represent...not management.Carl
I thought one of DPA's talking points were to decrease dues??? Your personal hatred of all things ALPA clouds any logical discussion. We currently have a PWA that stipulates the company pays certain union FPL, you say that's bad. If pilots had to pay, dues would increase, DPA says that's bad. You put DALPA in a no win posiition.
