It's a nightmare of mine... when the APA does something it cheapens the profession... whether it's crappy contracts or freeloading off of ALPA's efforts.. (FAA ReAuth)
They [APA] don't even have a code of ethics, which a profession requires.
Regardless, it’s been ALPA nationals wet dream for the past several years to bring the AA pilots into ALPA. Lowering dues rates closer to APA rates was always part of every plan to get it done.
