Professor I've been under ALPA's rule for 30+ years and each year it seems like they get a little bit more political and corrupt. Sit down at the negotiating table Wage war against the company come lunchtime hey who's buying lunch today the company or ALPA, back from lunch hey it's wartime, okay 5 o'clock who is buying at happy hour. I have personally had it with AlLPA taking so many dues, being so hypocritical not representing our needs. Spending hundreds on lunches, dinners, meetings. Don't care if it's DPA or no one I'd rather have no one then pay my dues to ALPA. Bunch of MFers that are out of touch with the real world and the real world of line flying! NO NO NO NO. Kudos to the reps that voted this down, those are the real man who stand up for us! Not a bunch of p u s... that just follow what the leader says.
