Haha. That made me laugh. Of course 'XYZ Airlines' is not going to organize ALPA just to get CrewPass benefits, but it's a matter of non-ALPA groups riding the coat tails and benefitting from ALPA-implemented improvements for the industry. Sooner or later it seems as messed up as the current welfare assistance system/program. i.e. We work and pay while others don't and benefit just the same... maybe a bad analogy, but it's the same concept. We're all pilots, union or no/different union, and we all need to stick together either way to stop the degradation of the career and contribute to advance collectively.
I like idea of coupling CASS to the verification process. That's already in place and most carriers DO pay for it already.
