Unfortunately this is not true. I know a guy who was threatened with termination at his airline several years ago and ALPA washed their hands of him. Despite this pilot's innocence his ALPA rep refused to provide any assistance and he was eventually forced to hire his own attorney to fight for his career. This guy ultimately prevailed against his company and was reinstated, but throughout the entire process ALPA did nothing whatsoever to assist him despite the fact he had been an ALPA member in good standing for nearly 20 years.Originally Posted by EWRflyr
To me, ALPA Aeromedical and representation in termination alone is worth the dues. There are many pilots out there, including the junior/young guy, who will tell you how valuable these services are if they have ever had to be used.
