What is interesting to me about ALPA dues and really why I included it in my post was that I never really cared about paying dues in my 10 years at the regionals. It wasn't on my radar, even though it was the same percentage. I guess now this year I really started noticing that a very significant amount of money is going their way. Just food for thought more than anything.
You have to endure things those senior to you don't? Did someone force you to bid the left seat of the 88? Because when I was in year 3, I, like thousands of other pilots, was into my second year of furlough. By all means, though, tell us more about the indignities that you have to endure.
