Next time you see your MEC Chairman at your regional ask him or her how much your regional pilots pay total dues annually to ALPA versus how much ALPA gives your MEC annually ....
Knowledge is power and you need to go and get it
You pay less than you receive as all Regionals do
FACT
Also
ALPA Does represent your interest
Check you Strike fund from OCF
Check your preferential status when you file your air apps application and check your preferential interview if you are a furlough ALPA member
And I hope you don’t lose your medical because you will find out how much ALPA helps you down at Colorado Springs! Research that too
