I am confident the dues rate will be coming down NLT the next BOD meeting in less than two years. If you want to see that happen start passing resolutions at your LECs now.
Agree, but DAL and JBU will make that push, too. Their mantra has been lower dues no matter what the cost or which airlines get harmed in the process. Guarantee the first local meeting at one of those two carriers after the ALPA Exec Board meets this month to approve it will have a dues reduction on the agenda.
