Maybe the commuting MEC chairman could move to where his business actually is, instead of making ALPA pay for his lodging in ATL...

Maybe ask the volunteers to actually VOLUNTEER instead of paying them all full time flight pay loss to miss trips, then letting them pick up GS on off days.

Look, I just found about a million dollars more to fund contract compliance.
