It's worse than that. An American Eagle LEC rep posted his experience going against ALPA. He was inspecting the books because of his concern about lavish spending. He was running from the last leg of his line trip in his uniform to make an ALPA meeting that had a catered dinner. He sat down in front of his place setting and ordered a beer to drink with dinner. Afterward, he got a text from an ALPA guy at the meeting. The text had a picture of him in his uniform with a beer in front of him and the text said: "Just thought you'd like to see this."
Inspecting ALPA finances is everyone's right, but they extract a price.
