That's not accurate.
Years ago they dropped the type requirement to be considered for interview ONLY. If selected, the candidate STILL had to acquire the type. It WASNT till this latest SW app window that the type requirement OFFICIALLY went away.
And keep in mind, somewhere around late 2005-early 2006 SW UPPED the TPIC requirement to 1300. Didn't last long, but still.

Somewhat fixed it for you. Pilots paying dues ARE ALPA. After Timmy Martins of course
But I remember having my dues levied an additional amount to help pay their strike fund.
So to say they did "nothing" is a little extreme. We're you in this game then, paying additional dues? As well as supporting them in their strike?
