There is no nefarious purpose. It is simply smart for everyone to work together.



As long as you continue to repeat blatant nonsense like this, you have zero credibility. The president is the highest compensated officer within the Association, and he makes $335k per year. Plenty of pilots at his own airline at his seniority level make more than he does. And they do it while working far less. No officer comes even close to making the absurd number that you've thrown out there. Get your facts straight and stop listening to the losers over at the DPA.
