By the way, I think I have our IROPS issue solved. Especially when gates become an issue.

I just watched the union video. KR talked about our dues money and contingency funds. I guess we have some extra funds for section 6 but what happened to all the money we had deducted to cover merger fighting? Is there any left? Do we get some back? Does the money just roll into the section 6 funds? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think at some point we get the funds back but ALPA will have to deduct dues from it like income. :D

It is true that if you didn't use it [big NWA sick leave bank] you would lose it but most thought of it as an insurance policy.
