Instead of twisting the truth, okay - outright lying - how about if you get onboard and support ALPA PAC. At least through some minimum financial support you can support our profession instead of - through ignorance - attempt to tear it down.
Great post. Bolded are all reasons that I just upped my PAC contribution again - I view it as cheap career insurance.
The threats listed above are very real and they are absolutely going to have a negative impact on our industry if they go unchallenged. I have seen it work firsthand, and all the BS about secretly funding the far left is an attempt to undermine our ability to combat these threats. I can't for the life of me figure out why PD and Carl are ACTIVELY pushing against it - yet another anti-ALPA at any cost crusade I guess??
I'd argue that PAC contributions are more valuable than the dues we pay. The threat is serious and it's coming hard for your job right now. If you're concerned about the Gulf Carriers, NAI, cabotage, etc and aren't donating to the PAC, consider clicking the link below and giving $5/paycheck. If you're not concerned about these threats, you should be. PM me if you want and I will talk to anyone that will listen why we can't ignore this.
Take 30 seconds and sign up now. Give $5 a check - seriously it's a cup of coffee:
