You guys have literally paid your dues for years, you deserve a higher status than all those "non-members". 35% was NOT enough. It should have been ONLY ALPA pilots can be hired if the pilot is coming directly from another US airline (unless presently furloughed from an ALPA carrier).

Totally agree with you on this. Show value in membership. Show value in unity outside of one property's seniority list. Remember though, people on here were irked that this was even in there.
