Pathetic.
I think they and every ALPA pilot should pay their fair share. Every ALPA pilot should pay the same percentage as everyone else on the money they earn. If they then decide to put a portion of it in a 401k, that's their business, but the rest of us should not have to subsidize them.
On a separate matter with regards to the claims by the DPA that ALPA is going to raise everyone's dues, I'm disappointed that the DPA would deceive their fellow pilots when no such effort is underway.
I also watched the unedited treasurer's report on the ALPA website. I came away from it with a totally different sense of ALPA's financial status then the highly edited DPA version.
