It's not right, its not good but that's just how it is...

So we can sit on the sidelines and lament an unfair system or we can pool our resources and affect some change.

I finally put on my big-boy pants and will be putting my money where my mouth is...

Thank you George. You are correct and our pilots and professional lobbyists are making a very big impact. I saw it for myself. If you want to succeed in making significant changes to our PWA you must make sure that the legs of the table(foreign ownership, cabotage, level playing field, fair skies etc do not change. Our avenue to force these points is ALPA PAC. Its career insurance in the broadest sense.
