Has anyone else seen this? Any proof of these eligations? Typical ALPA. Now they want to kill jobs over seas with more lucrative pay and compensation package than anything ALPA could negotiate for companies it represents:


ALPA has joined with Delta and the APA in publishing a full-page color ad in two popular Capitol Hill newspapersPolitico and Roll Callhighlighting the subsidies provided to foreign airlines by U.S. taxpayers through the U.S. Export-Import Bank. The ad highlights Boeing 777s financed at below-market rates to Emirates,which are now being flown into the United States in competition with U.S. airlines.

The Banks subsidies to foreign airlines gives foreign competitors a cost advantage on international routes,and these subsidies are allowing foreign carriers to drive domestic carriers out of international routes,costing pilots jobs. ALPA Government Affairs is actively working on Capitol Hill to bring a resolution to this subsidy issue and sent a letter last week to lawmakers detailing our position.
