What were you basing 1% feasibility on? What services should be cut? What are the appropriate levels for the OF, OCF, MCF, Kitty Hawks funds et al? What worst case contingencies did you take into account? Right to work?

Each airline has their own MEC and most also have LEC staff.
They need 300 people to print me a “Find the Differences” Highlights puzzle at the back of the magazine- that I already get digitally...only to have it printed and mailed to me a few days later? Herndon is too close to D.C....and the spending habits from the politicians seep to ALPA. Burning money.
And don’t get me started on the golden parachute pensions that ALPA brass get. And full health coverage for themselves and family until they die. This is on top of whatever package they get from the airline they belong to.
Basically all ALPA membership took massive pay and benefit cuts the years 2001-2011 (and some have a valid arguement they are still under a pay cut )...yet ALPA MANAGEMENT didn’t take any cuts during that time.

How much of our budget goes to this? I don’t mind the staff as they have a purpose, I really don’t understand why we overpay for a national officer group.

Pay is more important than demographics. Every senior captain that retires is replaced by another senior Captain - all at 12 year pay. The pay differential on the NB is minimal. A 12 year 737 guy makes about 275 this year. With the 4% raise that is the same as a 7 year guy in 2019. Pay seems to be have a much bigger impact than demographics.
Do you have any actual revenue numbers or is the decreasing revenue just a hunch?
Plenty of fat to cut at ALPA National starting with the ridiculous Pension of the President. Any decrease he takes while serving should be matched so he comes out even, that’s it. A DB is pretty insulting considering most of us lost ours.

I am pretty skeptical about this. Most airline pay is way up since 2005. I bet ALPA revenues are booming. I would like to see a graph of revenues over time.

And most of these officers are senior captains and the last ones who need it. Lets instead donate it to a gofundme for Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos to buy a new Lambo...
