Union is paid through the policy manual, I know of only one airline that had a ALPA pay codified in their company contract, and that particular MEC utilized that to rip off their pilot group and their company.

If someone has an issue with the Full time ALPA pay, there are methods to address that. But to sink a TA, or for that matter to support it based on displeasure with ALPA flight pay loss is absurd.

BTW: this was brought up during the council 5 meeting this week. A EWR 777 Captain called out the MEC Chairman on pay cuts for Union guys, MEC chairman said they were taking a “Voluntary Cut”, then Insler called out the Captain for banking 159 hrs last month 😳and asked if he was going to cut back on his pay.
