Sounds like you've got it all figured out. But what have you done to help?
What have I done to help? I've paid my dues. That is what I pay dues for. The notion that everyone who is in a union should have to serve it is absolute crap. In this industry you really don't have a choice but to be a part of a union. The reality is every ALPA pilot pays there dues and when they see that they aren't getting what they pay for, the answer is always "What have you done to fix it?" I shouldn't have to do anything to fix it. That is what I pay you(ALPA) for. If that is the mentality then why don't all ALPA folks apply for management jobs with this company? What have you done for management lately? If you don't like the way things are run then you should apply to management and fix the issues yourself.
