I have worked at 2 ALPA carriers and 1 in house carrier and I would say by far my experience with the in house union was much better. We had a ton of money since all our dues went to our union not mostly to the national union. We also were organized in a way that the membership felt like it could invoke change without going through a "board of directors style" leadership team. I guess it is similar to our political system. Do you feel the state government best represents you or do you feel one centeralized federal government best represents you. Do you feel like you have more of a say in a local government or in Washington?
