I do not know what regional you work for.
I bet if you ask your MEC Secretary Treasurer how much Dues is collected from your members compared to how much money you get from ALPA, that you are getting the better part of the bargain.
Most regional MECs (not all) are funded off the backs of the legacies and Cargo. We don't complain for that.
Maybe all the Members with Retirement plans should get refund for all the dues paid on their 401K plans the last several years.
Shouldn't we all pay the same percentage no matter how big or how small?
