It’s either a part of your paycheck that you’d never see anyway if the union foots the bill, or an insignificant portion of any pilot’s income if a group decides to organize a spread for the pickets. I don’t even know what a large pizza costs these days, but I’d drop $20-50 on a picket if it meant we had significant turnout. I bet others would too. Or it wouldn’t cost ALPA any more than some of their meals they’re buying for get togethers in FLL. Show up, march around for a bit, get some grub and donate any significant leftovers to a shelter or haul it down to the training hotel for guys on training pay.
