Forcing somebody to donate isn't a donation. It's extortion.
The committee has no way of knowing what sort of financial situation our pilots are in. What if someone has medical expenses for a special needs child? The list can go on and on. It's none of their business and they have no right to threaten anybody with public shaming.

The majority of east pilots have not excuse, but agree this is a bad idea.

The publishing of such a list could indeed be grounds for various types of action. It could easily be considered a retaliatory tool that creates a hostile work environment for those listed and thus the avenue for response could be both a Human Resources complaint with the company and if necessary, a civil suit.
Are you a west pilot? Cactus pilot.com has. A list of contributors. If your name is not on that list, then what's the difference in having it on a non-contributor list? The tie is a form of pressure and against the rules in FM1.
All the above are good reasons it's a bad idea.

Nope. The west has a list of pilots who have contributed above certain targets. Gold, Platinum, and Titanium I believe. There are many who have contributed lesser amounts that are not on the list. The idea of posting a list of non contributors was brought up several times but deemed to be a bad idea. Certain people are dealing with extraordinary financial difficulties for whatever reason and shaming fellow pilots just weakens the cause.

Okay, thanks for that info. I was wrong, and it's not really relevant to this issue. I've got to hand it to the west guys, you've funded your cause and you have great communications.

2015 new. So whatever you want to call us. No dog in the fight whatsoever.
But regardless I totally disagree with bullying as a way to strong arm people into cooperation.
It's extremely off putting to any cause.

Funding Update
Since the previous update, 254 additional pilots have contributed toward seniority integration expenses. That’s now 1,360 pilots trying to carry the load for a total of 3,065 pilots. Many contributing pilots have asked that we publish the list of contributors and non-contributors. We are in the process of compiling the complete list.
The East Pilots are still between $125,000 and $150,000 short, based on our best estimate of total expenses. If you haven't contributed to the defense of your seniority, now is the time to do it. Please make a contribution of $200, or whatever you can, to:
