We're making more and there are a lot more of us. Give them more and they will find a way to spend it. I understand that more people also means more expenses, but I highly doubt they need twice as much today as 5 years ago.

I'm grateful for ALPA and all their services, I just think reasonable oversight needs to be done just like every industry.
