I can't believe the NAI, a little ole no-body-nothing group of wanna-be's and posers out maneuvered the Airline Pilots Association, the largest and most powerful Airline labor union in the world.
It's OK to be PRO ALPA and pro something else besides the PAC.
Not sure if you are aware, but dues do not fund the PAC. Im unsure if it's illegal to have dues in politics or if it's policy.
I don't think we were out maneuvered by little NAI, they had significant help from big bad Boeing who wanted the aircraft orders. Also the Norwegian CEO was an attorney involved in destroying the maritime industry. Not his first rodeo. He tries very hard to hide his involvement in that in interviews.
