Alpas past interest in doing the 'hard' things regarding protecting pensions.... is exactly in sympathy with the dues revenue they derived from that source of income.
Zero.
We live in the here and now. Thousands of alpa pilots annuitized retirement is in the hands of an insolvent provider.
These same pilots are still now sending tens of millions in dues to alpa.......for which they are once again receiving exactly the same energy and effort in protecting their benefit.
Zero.
Because you see......alpa gets exactly the same level of revenue from the pbgc benefit as they did from the promised DB payments.
Zero.
