Didn't read my whole post, maybe you were laughing too hard. I despise the current ALPA. I didn't always, and I'm one of those that "came before you". The last 15-18 years is enough to prove how useless they've become. I merely wrote "ALPA minimum" as some sort of pay example. If a trade union (they hate the term union, nee association) can't establish a basic livable minimum for its members its a plain failure. If ALPA can't do a base minimum then there needs to be a reformed or new union that can. I sort of doubt a single airline or an a membership cabal of airlines would be the slightest bit interested. Besides, most of them have ALPA!
