No where on the letter was there contact information for anyone at ALPA national.

I went ahead and cut them a check for $40 and sent it in. After about 2 weeks I talked to my ALPA rep and had him check my "status." He said that everything appeared normal now that my balence was 0.00.

No letter of re-instatement or comment from anyone in VA, just the return of the worthless weekly emails updating us on how the MEC is spending our money and wasting their time (safety committee meetings, team building conferences, etc).

These are the people I pay to look out for my best interests? They were going to can me over $40. Really?
