That is a very thoughtful gesture that I totally agree with. I like that. Let us reason together.
It was simply about the National Right to Work Act which eliminates the mandatory dues payments by non-members, of which I am one. Its not that I am necessarily against unions, but I KNOW you can't change it UNLESS you, the individual, can withhold YOUR hard earned money from an entity that fails to perform in a fashion that advocates the interests as a whole with fundamental principles.
I am anti-union, anti-ALPA, anti-APA because APA motto "through these doors walks the worlds finest pilots" is only for LAA pilots. Their LOS and even those of the LAWA pilots have used their system to advance their small groups interests and not those of the whole.
My belief only (maybe) and my right. But I KNOW the power to the APA and ALPA is growing weaker by the day, the NRTW Act will soon be passed and the wasted dollars going to Carey, Wilson, Bates, etc. will come to an end.
Only THEN can a new way of real thinking come about. The corpus must die before the Phoenix can rise again. Dick Lyons, whom most of you do NOT even know, would approve. Look him up.
Again, let us reason together.
