This AE ALPA advertisement is a bunch of horse phooey. Now, if it came from the Moustache Mafia in Herndon, I'd say alright!!! They're gearing to actually do something aside from whining. But ALPA National doesn't give a rat's about anyone except the Moustache Mafia.

I said it before, I say it again... if ALPA took better care of its members in distress i.e. furloughees, you wouldn't have places like GoJet or alter egos.

Prime example, prior to Aloha going under, as an FO, I was paying an equivalent of a car or a boat payment to ALPA every month. When Aloha was going under, they threw in the towel so fast it wasn't even funny, and even told us to fly cargo for free. Hell, they even took out an ad bragging about flying for free!!! When the dust settled, we got notifications that we were no longer eligible for ALPA-sponsored programs, hell, my ALPA-supporting Union Plus Mastercard sent me a letter too saying specifically that since I am no longer a member of ALPA, they were jacking up my interest rate. Finally... oh yeah, if I wanted to work for another ALPA carrier... my salary would be equivalent of an unemployment check DESPITE my experience, previous pay, etc.

Union brotherhood? PUHLEEEEEZ!!!!
