I just knocked out the Calls to Action in less than a minute.

Here it is again since we're on a new page:
ALPA On the Issues
I've done the survey and the "call to actions."

I can't say that I "regularly" engage my reps because frankly I find that a total waste of my time and theirs. For the most part, they are just going to disregard anything I have to say anyway. I did send them my input for C2015. I also engaged them back in January on the new FAR 117 requirement for clarification on the 8 hour uninterrupted sleep opportunity. (They blew that one big time.) I engaged them on the CDO issue with the FAR 117 TA. And I sent them my input that Lee Moak needed to be recalled after he totally bungled the Bloomberg/Business Week interview and did irreparable harm to our negotiating position for C2015. Of course, most of that basically fell on deaf ears... so why again am I engaging these reps?

As to ALPA PAC... sorry, but I'm not sending money to support any aspect of an organization that doesn't have at its core the objective to restore our profession and our careers back to some semblance of what we all reasonably expected when we got into this profession. And I also don't like the idea that ANY of my money would go to support politics that I think is ultimately damaging to this country.
