Wrong again. Do you ever tire of being wrong? Maybe you don't like democratic institutions. ALPA-PAC contributions are voluntary and dues are not used.


Who decides who the PAC supports?

ALPA-PAC is governed by a Steering Committee, the members of which are all either elected by ALPA’s Board of Directors (Chairman and Treasurer) or are appointed for a two-year term by ALPA’s President (the National members). The Steering Committee approves all expenses from the PAC.

The ALPA-PAC Steering Committee consists of nine members: the President of ALPA, who serves as Chairman of the Committee, the First Vice President of ALPA, who serves as Treasurer of the Committee, and seven National members (ALPA members in good standing) appointed by the Committee Chairman and approved by the ALPA Executive Council.

MECs can earn seats on the Steering committee by demonstrating a commitment to the PAC. Any MEC whose members account for 15% or more of total PAC receipts over a 2-year period is entitled to a seat. MECs accounting for more than 30% of total receipts are entitled to 2 seats. 2 seats are reserved for smaller carriers to make sure the Steering committee is representative of ALPA’s membership.


And talk about money well spent. The FAA Reauthorization was a home run for pilots. We got everything we wanted except flags of convenience restrictions.
