Alaska thread for Alaska pilots...

I generally work 80-85 hour months with an occasional premium trip, maybe one every 3 months.
It's the pension that I value most.

Captains make $206/hour, which is below the industry standard. At 85 hours, it's $17,510 ($210k annual pay). With a 10% max bonus (which will be short lived since the co. keeps raising the bar every year), it's roughly $230,000 plus perdiem. Most line holders credit 90+ hours a month on an average (according to ALPO). 10% 401k contribution and the A plan (rebalance) is a good deal. A good majority of the FOs do not have the A plan-just a 13.5% 401K contribution. 2/3 of the pilot group sold out the "to-be" pilots two contracts ago. PBS is next. What's in your wallet?

Yeah, I'll buy you a steak dinner; just don't forget to bring your dentures and reading glasses, pops.

What are you, new to this sort of a forum? Did I put your post in quotes when I replied to this thread? It helps if you pull your head out of your a$$ before attempting to read.

I use a little toilet paper for occasional Hershey squirts. Mike may need the triple layer protection version though.

Election
So I just received an email from a candidate for Block 5 rep for the Seattle council. Somehow, this is the first I have heard that the most important election a pilot can vote in is next Monday. Oh, and by the way, unless your ballots are in the mail by Friday, your vote won't count.
What ballot?
Like many of you I imagine, I proceeded to sift through the pile of mail that my wife collates for me as I am out working most of the time, and found no ALPA ballot. I then went to crewroom.alpa.org expecting to find a vote button, but not to be. The most current missive from my council I could find was from March on the website I pay over $3000 a year for. Say it isn't so.
I have heard in the past that no one shows up for union meetings. That is certainly for myriad reasons; working, family issues, etc. How can it be in this day and age that I can't vote online for the person who is going to select the next MEC Chairman and more importantly, the next negotiating committee?
Could it be that the people in those positions like their 90 hours of pay per month and would like to keep the status quo?
I hope I'm mistaken and there is another way for me to vote other than in person, as I have to work on Monday.
Hopefully someone will call me out and tell me I'm wrong.
