Thats an unproductive comment. I never said I wanted ALPA to "maintain everything". I have said before that I believe some of the top pay scales are excessive. I also mentioned that there will be job cuts by the end of the summer.

My point is that there is only so much that can be cut before it affects ALPA's ability to function effectively. The loss in dues caused by the reduction in membership can not be covered exclusively by budget reductions. For example, the MCF, Air Safety, and Legal departments are just a few examples of areas where budget cuts would be devastating.
