Looks like American pilots are getting closer to finalizing a merger to join ALPA.

What's the best part?

Combining the pilot profession into one voice 100,000 strong.

APA can stop riding ALPA's coattails.

ALPA dues will decrease for all if AA pilots join. Rumors are saying that ALPA is looking to lower dues to 1.4-1.5% range.

Talk to your buddies at AA - time to all get on the same bandwagon and move this profession forward together.
