The president is paid 100 hours per month at the same pay rate he would make while flying the line. He gets a 26% override on top of that to account for the greater workload and responsibility. That's his salary. It's really very easy to figure out.
No need for the site to work against ALPA. ALPA does a good job of making us hate them by themselves. Ra Ra cheerleader. Everyone always gets annoyed by the guy who THINKS he has all the answers.
