VS what we have been getting:

ALPA FACT SHEET
1. Dues structure: 1.95% (1.90% effective 2014). Almost twice as expensive as other independent unions.

2. Takes dues on profit sharing and other bonuses.

3. Refuses to publish online Flight Pay Loss (in dollars paid) for DALPA Reps back to 2010 when required by resolution and ignored.

4. Delta gives over $39,000,000 annually to ALPA National, 34% of its income. Delta Pilots get back only 1/3rd for our use.

5. ALPA’s NET assets fell to $39,000,000 as of 12/31/2012. MCF is at $33,000,000 in uncommitted funds, ½ of the $70M required.

6. ALPA dues ($53,305) were used in 2012 to send American Eagle regional pilots to Six Flags Over Texas and baseball games.

7. ALPA is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Delta Pilots have not approved this affiliation through a survey.
8. ALPA artificially lowered optional insurance rates below the ALPA negotiated Delta optional rates. Conflict of interest.

9. ALPA negotiated contracts are sloppy, full of loopholes and only enforced when it suits ALPA agendas. (Codeshare, bunks, etc.)

10. ALPA is unable to fully represent either side of a dual ALPA carrier merger. It must remain neutral or be sued.

11. Surveys results are not published, except the Age 60 survey which ALPA then ignored. No accountability. No unity.

12. ALPA refuses to follow survey results in selecting contract goals. Member mandates are ignored.

13. Delta Pilots are not allowed to vote for ALPA President/Officers or MEC Chairmen/Officers. Cronyism is rampant.

14. Conflict of Interest lawsuits are destroying ALPA finances. TWA - $1.7 Billion Damage Trial to conclude soon.

15. AirTran DFR, UAL Furlough Longevity and CAL Military lawsuits also currently in progress against ALPA. Legal fees are enormous.

16. Unity Resolution of 2000 affirms long-standing goal of recruiting independent unions, yet fails to represent current members.

17. Extravagant spending disrespects the membership. $360 per night hotel rooms, $1.5 Million BOD meeting on the beach in FL.

18. Refuses to publish online itemized pay and benefits received by local and national officers/representatives.

19. National officers/employees have a special pension benefit while the membership does not.

20. ALPA leaders often take management positions after union work is finished. Randy Babbitt is now SWA VP of Labor Relations.
21. Dues dollars are used to purchase alcohol at union meetings.

22. ALPA Toolbox is useless against a fellow ALPA carrier or any other carrier ALPA is attempting to recruit.

23. ALPA represents regional carriers. ALPA used the Delta contract to benefit regional members. (35% ALPA new hires, 76 seaters)

24. ALPA is allowing AF/KLM Joint Venture Scope non-compliance through a poorly crafted contract.

25. ALPA cannot stop trading scope for pay because it benefits its regional members.

26. ALPA designated reps are paid 92 hours monthly for position they could hold plus a $1,500/$1,000 stipend. Super seniority.

27. ALPA refuses to show the accounting books or officer names/salaries of offshore subsidiary Kitty Hawk Insurance Co.


28. ALPA National President received 2012 increase in total compensation from $540,408 to $576,968.

29. ALPA is $75M in debt. It is taking out more and more loans to cover legal expenses in multiple conflict of interest lawsuits.

30. ALPA’s first goal is to grow membership and associated dues income. Representing current members is secondary.

31. ALPA has taken in and been responsible for over $3 BILLION in total income since 2000. Has only $39M in NET assets left.

32. Minimum ALPA Designated Rep annual pay: CA Roberts - $283K, CA Van Sickle - $293K, FO Guilfoyle - $247K, FO Fries - $225K, CA Dominguez - $277K, FO Rogers - $247K, FO Olmstead - $225K, FO Coons - $229K – FO Nevins - $193K.

33. Jobs promised in last contract. No hiring for all of 2012 or 2013. 757s to be parked and 737s will replace..…pay cut.

34. ALPA Reps stated that Delta had no more left to give in last contract. Delta gives investors $1 BILLION (dividend and buyback) as a result. ALPA should have listened to the pilots instead of pursuing different agenda.
