First, 87 hours is the average pay hours, not block hours. If you have a week vacation in a month (21 hours) and fly 70 hours (many do) you have 91 pay hours. If you fly a 75 hour month and get a 10 hour green slip you have 95 pay hours. CQ training and many other items reflect pay hours and not block hours.

The 87 is not an opinion, it is a fact. Why doesn't DPA send someone to the ALPA office and review the data themselves? Wouldn't that eliminate this "did too, did not" rhetoric. I know, that would require unparking your butt from behind the keyboard and actually doing something.

Second, all committee members do not get paid what they can hold. The ones I can think off the top of my head are the four officers, the board of directors rep, and the negotiating committee. That should be 8 people (9 now that there are 4 negotiators). You and the DPA continue to spread this falsehood even though you have been corrected many, many times. It has gotten beyond the point of simple mistakes and now either goes into absolute incompetence or outright deception. Why can't the DPA simply stick to the facts, why do they have to try to deceive people?

Lastly, you mention the $1,000 stipend then throw in some $900 "lost per diem" and come up with $22,800. WTH over. Where did you invent this $900 payment? Hint 12 x $1,000 is $12,000 not $22,800. Given this $900 "loss" shouldn't the net be $100 a month or $1,200?

Maybe we can have a discussion over the real issues when you can at least get your facts straight. Until then, you are simply regurgitating propaganda that is outright false, you know it is false, and yet you continue to try to deceive people.

Read it again Alpha. Try it slower. $1000 a month stipend for the gardener/maid/personal trainer or what ever you spend it on, and reimbursement for per diem. Figure the per diem at 15/16 days @ 2.50 hr.

Hint. It works out to a little more than $900. Add the two numbers together and multiply by 12. $22,800 bump. What is particularly distasteful is the per diem replacement for those collecting it while living in base.

Must come in handy though when you all are at the Happy Buddah holding court and breaking your arms trying to pat yourselves on the back for the "great job" your doing.
