Just got off the phone with our Union and was not disappointed. I knew I wouldn't get any help and therefore I was not disappointed.

I'm trying to find out how much I paid in dues for the year. The lady from ALPA national said 2006 was posted if I needed the info.... uhhhhhh huh? I'm asking about the dues paid for my accountant so I can get my 2007 taxes finished up. Her answer was "they were waiting on about 20 airlines to tell them how much was paid in".

Excuse me, but doesn't ALPA have an accounting department? They certainly know if I'm in good standing or if I don't pay my dues. What can be so hard about totaling up how much each member has paid and releasing the info?

I put in a call to the MEC Sec/Treas. and got no response... we'll see how tomorrow goes.

I wonder if I didn't pay my dues for a year would they be able to tell me how much I paid then? Aggrivation I don't need from them!

ok.. I'm done...
