Yet today, as many of you have recently experienced, we are facing a more distinct and urgent need for CrewPASS than ever before."
Hell, if that is all that is holding up crew pass, I'll foot the $50 and deduct it as a business expense. Then we can ask to be reimbursed in our next contract. I have used crew pass in BWI and it saves $50 worth of BS!
Will you also foot the bill for the flight attendants and non union pilots and pilots at other airlines? The cost of 50 dollars is based on all aircrew nationwide opting into the program. I don't want ALPA paying for flight attendants. This program can and should be paid for by each airline for all crewmembers.
