As an Independent you would not get all this included in your dues. It would cost you extra. or in otherwords Independent dues would be more % than ALPA's 1.95%
As an Independent Union
You would have to hire a RLA Labor Attorney
You would have to hire an IN House Attorney.
You would have to Hire an Erisa Attorney
You would have to hire a Professional PR firm.
You would have to Rent and STAFF a professional office with
Desks, Furniture,Computers, Copiers, Secretaries and Paralegals.
You will have to pay for Full time Trip removal to you elected leadership and Key Committee members.
Believe me it adds up. Smaller Pilot groups are $$ ahead with ALPA.
