A dose of condescension from the MEC, addressing our numerous displacements:

"As we are all well aware, displacements and new commutes are never easy, and it can be tough to be junior. But we have to remember that our system works on a seniority basis."

(From today's "True Headings" talking points/spin rag.)

Who writes and proofreads this garbage?

Or this gem:

"Per ALPA financial policies adopted by the Association’s Executive Board, ALPA’s premium payments to Kitty Hawk cover the Kitty Hawk reinsurance premiums. Such premium payments are budgeted for payment from ALPA funds.

All other Kitty Hawk expenses are paid from Kitty Hawk funds, not from ALPA dues."



So our dues money does or does not fund Kitty Hawk?

"DPA’s primary advisor and legal representative has been fired or replaced by the pilots of SWAPA, APA, USAPA, and the IPA, among others. The USAPA leadership described the firm as a “single point of failure,” vindictive, incompetent, and as interfering in the political process of their union."

We've heard numerous times about the failings of the Seeham firm.

I have seen first hand the failings of ALPA legal and/or their legal team.

This does not denote support of DPA. It's just the truth.

Trust me.
Well, I'm going to have to add another video to YouNoob's Tsquare Channel..."Most pathetic ways to pick up women".

Your answer is within your own post. ALPA pays premiums to Kitty Hawk who provides coverage.

Just think of your own homeowner's insurance. Your insurer covers their own expenses from the premium you pay them.

To me, ALPA provides better advertisement for the DPA, than the DPA does themselves. When I get a DPA email it is underwhelming. When I get an ALPA email I say to myself, we have got to get out of this organization.
