For those who haven't joined, I implore you to consider joining. Now more than ever, our profession is under attack from foreign entities who are unwilling to compete on a fair playing field. For those who are ticked off at ALPA, try and see beyond today as all the other pilots unions look for ALPA to take the lead on governmental affairs.
It's less than most pilots monthly coffee bill to join at the highest level and it's done through dues check off.
Toddnel, would you mind posting the names and party of all who received ALPAC dollars. Last time I checked, the majority of the dollars went to Democrats. I bring this up because I want to point something out. We are now in a battle to save our jobs and the first skirmish is with the re-flagged Norway Airline trying to operate in this country which effectively will be "the nose of the camel in the tent" of cabotage. We have a Democrat controlled Senate and White house and we are fighting this intrusion. Why are we now trying to defend out jobs to a government that was elected with ALPA-PAC money and is now considering to allow this??
