Based on experience, it is not the open and honest dissenters whom pilots have to fear.

They are all the same to me.
The Internet gives cover to the anonymous trash-talkers, but it also provides a forum for thoughtful individuals to lay out some creative ideas (thus fulling the void created by ALPA's censors). Readers here are free to consider the comments and credentials of all contributors, then judge for themselves. That works for me.
Sincerely,

You don't pay dues, and want the benefits...
Get a life, and the rest of us, stop even acknowledging this S#*&.
(oops, I just didn't listen to myself...I'm done, really....)
PS Bob, non member &*&#$&*$, I just spent a week of my life in DC trying to do things to make your job safer and more secure, and in the summer, I have better things to do, but this is important stuff
...pay some dues and you can have an opinion on ALPA
