The dues are not that much higher. Here is an example for a 4 year Saab Captain.

Teamsters= $45 X 75 hours= $3375= $59 union dues
ALPA= $45 X 83 hour average= $3735 = $72 union dues

I am wiling to pay $13 extra a month to have the extra resources that ALPA has. You pay more a month for Dental insurance, this is the closest thing we have to career insurance. You will pay more money to get the better medical and dental plan but not Career Insurance Plan?
