I'm not as concerned about the percentage of my pay that goes toward dues as I am about how those dues are spent. Forget the tired examples of oil paintings, limos for kids in private school and such, the total inefficiency of the spending is one thing. But I don't like the conflict of interest that my ALPA dues money is spread over. I said the same thing when I drove RJ's, there should be a union for them, and one for us.

ALPA, IMHO, is like any other large entity;because of it's vast size, it becomes self serving.
