However, USAPA will still represent the US Airways pilots regarding the SLI until that process is completed. So USAPA will still be around for while in an official capacity.
Now, if the APA becomes our union in 4 days, our dues will then start going to them. Curious, the APA is currently having a dues holiday for the months of August, September and October. So I'm wondering if we will not have any dues taken out of our pay until November when the dues holiday is over...
My understanding is USAPA will shut down ASAP but the US E/W merger committee's will remain independent from APA, but be APA members. We shall see shortly.
