Actually, it did have an expiration. Upon ratification of a new CBA. Don't like it, lead a charge to have the assessment removed.

The committee, is chaired by Dan and Eve. That's why they sign it. While line pilots, this isn't their first rodeo and Eve is far more qualified to be there than the average line pilot because of her previous career. You seem to make the assumption that it's just a couple line pilots sitting there. You're wrong. Various committees were consulted, explained their stances and a number of attorneys and experts from other airlines were consulted as well. Had you and others taken a little more interest in happenings there, you would have had a TA long ago. Nobody wanted to run for the eboard, and this is what you ended up with.
For someone who no longer works there, I seem to have a better pulse on the situation than you do.
