So hypothetical: What if the pro-labor, pro-pilot politician was a communist? Is that something you as an ALPA PAC contributor are willing to accept because you think concerns about your individual job override all other issues facing our country?
I'd prefer to be sitting in my pilot seat at work making my good coin, complaining about my politicians rather than sitting at home, out of work, earning nothing and happy with my politicians.
