Perhaps some of us have been very involved in trying to affect change. Perhaps some of us have realized that ALPA is a failed model, and that there is little if any hope to affect said changes under ALPA leadership [sic]. Some of us have also been on the receiving end of pure lies from specific FedEx ALPA committees; lies that have cost us more money than our annual dues.

There are plenty of alternatives availible to FedEx pilots. I for one think ALPA is part of the problem, not a solution. I also think this pilot group is mistaken to swallow the ALPA line concerning age 65. It was not necessarily a "done deal" in Washington. Just ask the APA, SWAPA, and IPA pilot groups. ALPA had a lot to do with helping get Age 65 passed. It very well might have been tabled indefinitely if ALPA had not decided to ADVOCATE the rule change vice fight it.

Finally, since ALPA extorts 2% of my hard earned pay, You bet I have a right to *****! Or are you one of those Torries who think "taxation without representation" is valid?
