No it's not. That is exactly the way I see it.

Everyone? I don't think so.
And I disagree with your premise. ALPA is simply there to protect and enhance our careers and our profession... no more, no less. In the 20+ years I've been paying ALPA dues, I cannot think of anything I have wasted my money on more. In my personal life, I would never accept such dismal performance from something I paid good money for.

Well sometimes is certainly seems that way.

I disagree. It has been many years since the bankruptcy/emergency has been over at Delta. And yet we are still being compensated as if we are in bankruptcy and an emergency condition exists. And while the company is clearly not in danger of bankruptcy or liquidation, ALPA refuses to approach the company for a mid-contract partial pay restoration. Even after resolutions have been overwhelmingly passed at the LEC level to this effect... ALPA just marks them "received" and refuses to do anything about it. Some "mechanism to further your career."
