ALPA-PAC funds are voluntary and have used quite effectively to lobby for pilots' interests as evidenced by the FAA Reauthorization bill. You're welcome.
No kidding! Dues of ANY union cannot legally be used for political purposes. You obviously missed the entire point of the conversation. I’m surprised someone would allow you to pilot an aircraft. But actually I’m not, ALPA has been known to defend and keep unqualified pilots at the controls.
Everyone abides by the laws right? Especially corporations (21st century unions)... FWIW even unionfacts publishes ALPA dues going towards political means no matter how small the percentage.
The propaganda is THICK, I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to pull ya out of this.
