ALPA pay is to do ALPA stuff for ALPA pilots. ALPA pay is not (in my understanding) to give someone time to cool off and recover from their own missteps. If a guy or gal can't accomplish their work obligations, they are free to drop trips, take a PLOA, use sick leave where appropriate or otherwise coordinate with the company to get their stuff in a sock.

Many of us have "very serious (personal) issues" and don't lean on ALPA pay to get ourselves through them financially unscathed. Just because an ALPA rep allegedly committed assault doesn't mean it's an ALPA issue, just like him beating his wife wouldn't have been an ALPA issue either.
