Maybe if they ever used their brains they'd see that higher wages means more annual earnings which means more dues $$$. Oh wait, that is that stupid logic thingy clogging up my thought process again.
How can ALPA back a recommendation, as important as this is, when the membership that makes ALPA would clearly be opposed to this? I'd be willing to bet it would be less than 2 in 10 that would agree with this recommendation. I'm confused now, who is ALPA? Why would I contribute to the PAC fund if someone out there is making and backing recommendations that go against the general good and desires of the membership? The issues seems pretty black and white up and down the ranks, regional or mainline, this would benefit the whole industry.
