If the majors are paying for it one way or another (and they are). Then, we the line pilots are subsidizing it. How much money are we the line pilots of the majors losing in the form of wage subsidies and/or bonuses and other intrinsic as well as tangible/non tangible compensation?
the subsidizing of labor that it outsourced hurts the profession. In addition, our dues dollars go towards subsidzing the very competition (regionals) that are taking our revenue stream.
How is it ethical for ALPA to allow dues money from Delta and United MEC's to be used against us to take revenue from us?
