Mayday,

Not exactly. NWA has FROZEN their pension and pilots are currently working under a terrible contract. They are getting a whopping 5% B fund. Most pilots expect their pension will not be there when they retire.

Read the part about the Group A carriers. The people that contribute 80% of ALPA's revenue voted 64% against the change.

NWA voted more than 70% against the change (just like we did at FDX). At least they don't have a hero like DW who chooses to do the "right thing" and protects us from ourselves. Even NWA management agrees with them (not that I am giving those guys any credit).

I find it repulsive that even though our membership supposedly voted 70% against changing the rule, our leadership decides to go their own way.

I also cancelled my ALPA-PAC payments.
