My point was contracts are made because ALPA is in the business of making money. Higher the wage the more intake they have for the “War chest”. 1.85% of $360 is more than 1.85% of $285. Maybe check out what 1.85% of $360 is. I’m sure just a coincidence. Simple arithmetic. ALPA fights for ALPA. Your paycheck reflects that fight. Nothing you individually do will or ever has changed that and furthermore may in fact be detrimental to your career. The only lifting done was saying no to what was previously negotiated. We’ve all said no one time or another. We will get ours eventually as well as will NK with or without us.
