Not out of line at all.

I hadn't really looked at in from a standpoint of how much is paid in dues. Moreso I am looking at going from the salaries that each pilot was making when they went on strike compared to the salaries of the pilots on probation. A first year pilot that gets furloughed will feel an unknown amount of pain, but will be out less than 30K a year/months furloughed. The entire pilot group was on strike for 3 months and close to half of those pilots if not more where all making between 50K and 105K(not exact.) The association simply cannot forget what they went on strike for. Families actually fell apart because of that situation. I would say that the pilots on strike lost more than you will lose on a fulough, and they did it to themselves to give you the protection that you now have.
