When you join ALPA you get all this for free as part of your dues.
That seems a bit misleading to me. At Delta, I'm told we pay about $30 million annually in dues. About $21 million of it goes to ALPA National and $9 million of it directly supports the Delta pilots. I'm thinking you can hire a heck of a lot of top notch experts for $21 million dollars.
