[quote=The Juice;611691]What is ALPA going to do? Go to mgmt and ask for more money and mgmt will give it because they are good people?

The fact is that in 3 months people will be back to thinking that all pilots make 100K a year and forget what a regional airline is.[/quote]]

Not necessarily, if we all continue to bring this up to the ALPA reps, continue to write to our congressmen and continue to keep this in the spotlight, we will be able to make a change! we can't all just say "ah it's not worth it" and give up. We have to fight for it and work hard on getting what we want AND deserve! I spent over $200,000 on my aviation career because this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I've wanted to fly since I was 5 years old and nothing has stopped me from getting to this point. Well I am not going to let getting paid only $20,000 a year stop me either. I am going to do something about it! I am going to write the congressman who is the head of the aviation board and give him ideas that he can bring up to congress. And I for one am optimistic that if enough of us try hard enough, we can make a huge difference and finally get paid for the education we receive and for what we do for the general public....KEEP THEM SAFE WHILE THEY FLY UNDER OUR HANDS!!! I LOVE to fly and I am going to do all that I can to get paid for doing what I love to do. Now lets all stop fighting against each other and join together and make a difference!!!!!!
