The ALPA mag can go for sure. And perhaps Jan Steenblik can go as well. But using this as a justification to dump ALPA is WAY over the top.
If you read the note, the comment was do away with 535 Herndon Parkway. ALPA National offices are downtown, although there is a duplication of office space in Herndon with the national "officers". That destinction is of little consequence.
I'll be the first to say that ALPA Safety, Security, CIRP and other programs benefit the membership. No doubt about that and are worth
your dues money. In my view, the organization needs a major internal overhaul, modernization and re-structuring. Leave the programs in place that bring value to the membership and either eliminate or re-organize the rest of the organization to meet the needs of today's labor environment.
'Nuff said.....back to the driving range.
