The last ten years might have been ALPA's best. 1.9%/1.85% is the best investment most pilots will ever make. Might need some of those reserves if the SCOTUS creates national right work case law for private corporations.

And the Regional guys are getting pay raises also. My First year paying alpa I made $28k, these days they are getting payed double.
They also added JetBlue, WestJet and other companies to ALPA. There’s no reason to keep the dues this high.

Is ALPA some benevolent overlord we must pay homage to? It was a token gesture but political fuel for sure.

That’s pretty lousy. I thought 1.0% was feasible and 1.5% was a given knowing how much more ALPA is getting now than they were 8-10 years ago.
Also, saying the smaller MECs have a hard time operating on 1.8 or less is a poor excuse. Most regionals are making 30-60% more across the board than they did 5 years ago.
