Hypothetical scenario one proposed - I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the repercussions. It will take a couple years to get a contract. If a pilot is 62-63 he (or she) avoids ALPA, skips dues, then retires. Since said pilot is no longer flying he feels (again, I don't know how correct this is) ALPA can't get the back dues. I guess ALPA could sue and get a judgement but it's my understanding retirement income can't be garnished in this situation. Legal scholars, any merit in this thinking?
Another proposed he's going to quit as soon as the contract gets signed (and live off other passive income streams) under the same theory.
