At Air Wisconsin, the year 16 pay for an FO is 47.4% of CA pay.

If ALPA would adopt a 68% policy, you would see year 16 FO pay at $65.96 compared to $97.00 for CA.

Or, based on ALPA stating that we have no leverage (and the fact that unions tend to be more along the lines of your "Obama" critique), the 68% values at year 16, with no increase in the pot, would be: $57 for FO, $84 for CA.

These values, while "spreading the wealth" would fall more in line with the DAL pay scales with the consideration of a smaller pot to divvy out.

I assume you will be leading the charge to decertify ALPA and utilize a direct relationship with DAL management, since you are against "Obama style liberalism" (which you support by being an ALPA member). Of course, if you are a non-member paying a contract MX fee, I commend you for following your views in your actions.
