So you can't answer my question, because you're wrong. Delta ALPA is refunding dues money to it's own pilot group. Clearly National controls all the money.

Yeah? So first you said they CAN'T intervene unless invited, & now you're changing your tune.
Nice deflection BTW. You can't defend the dysfunction, so you try to change the subject. If IBT is so much better, why haven't they worked out a national contract?

A 12 yr 767-300 CA makes $213. A 12 yr 767-400 CA makes $241. A 12 yr 747-400 CA makes $255.

You didn't say "a few" either. Am I to assume you meant otherwise? If you don't specify that it's a small amount, then it's safe to say you're accusing all of doing so.

(Oh, that's right...Amerijet was too insignificant for ALPA to organize and like so many others, they're just "cargo pilots." The exception being FedEx who makes alot of money.) They did eventually offer to send down a "delegation" from the Strike Committee...that never showed.
Guess who did? Cops, firemen janitors, teachers, pilots, ATC folks, UPS and FedEx drivers...all kinds of folks.
Funny thing...Amerijet didn't blink an eye when Spirit walked. They were some of the first there in support. Along with other IBT carriers like Southern, World, Polar Atlas, ABX and others.
Can't speak to that. Don't know enough about it.
