I performed years of ALPA work. The majority for free.

I put in countless 10 hour days for free.

The behavior i witnessed finally drove me away.

We pay close to $60 million in dues just for the Delta pilots annually. The majority ****ed away.

Our dues should be 1% or less.

ALPA National is a worthless money sucking blob. The leaders have feathered their own beds beyond belief.

What is Tim Canoll doing to protect the Delta pilots from JV partners doing flying that should be Delta jets?

What is his plan?

Since I don't know your name and it seems like you were at these meetings, tell the Delta line pilots how this Korean JV is going to go for us.

If you are going to talk big, have the guts and honor to use your real name.

Aren't all FPL requests approved by the Treasurer? Is our Treasurer not providing oversight?

How many days was he on FPL while on vacation?

It seems to me as a dues paying member that if you are on FPL in order to attend a meeting, and you are not there, than that's abusing FPL. Something Lewis is alleged to have done.

If on the other hand you have a vacation week scheduled, and you aren't on FPL during that week, just like a line pilot, I see no issue with a rep going on vacation as previously planned.

More importantly, what's Bartel's plan? What are his recommendations? What is our Strategic Planning Committee doing? We pay them FPL to come come up with a plan. All I hear is crickets.

I can promise you this MEC will water your eyes. Without our wind sock ALPA president.

We need to elect Brian, Stece and Sham in LAX.

Then ensure DeRosa and Martin do not get second terms.

I am very optomistic for C2019.

Bill, Ryan and Tom are all 3 excellent leaders. In my opinion the best by far in the last 3 decades.

I also think we should lower dues. 1% would be a good Target to shoot for. In any case there is no reason not to immediately lower dues to 1.5% and then access inflows and outflows of cash.

A good war-chest is important but at a certain point we should try to stabilize it vice keep growing it.

Just my 2 cents

Scoop

ALPA is a totally worthless crap organization. It's the same **** time and time again. Some things never change

GSGZ I thinks it's pretty safe your hurting your candidates not helping.

I guess we will soon find out.

My bet is the LAX pilots will go to the mat to fix our worthless JV scope and vote for Brain, Steve and Sham.

Those additional gets need to be Delta Jets.
