Oh man I screwed that one up. I am a rocket surgeon so I guess that is why I did that. In any case they blew 1.5 million selling us this deal.

Hey DALPA, next time send us a TA that doesn't need selling and save us all 1.5 million in dues. Ridiculous.

And 90% of that goes to guys who have no business doing what they are doing for ALPA as the Communications Chairman so perfectly showed us this week.

$1.48 mil to sell a P.O.S. TA?!!!! Don't let these guys get into government or they'll figure a way to cost me even more.

The same document had C2012 at $1.1M, that's 23% more selling.

I figure a decent pro/con paper sent to 12500 of us at $2 a pop would be $25K to get a good TA sold. The social media will do the rest.

Normally I believe the company reimburses the union for all the costs association with negotiating a new contract. I am guessing since they didn't sell this one we get to eat that 1.5M...

I think this action falls under the definition of :

Malfeasance is the willful and intentional action that injures a party.

Let's see, we pay over 50 million in dues every year to ALPA. They give DALPA 16 million back for our operation.

I don't feel like I am being represented considering what we pay in.

Agency Shop has made them greedy and lazy.

According to sources, more than two-thirds of that was for FPL for P2P and other individuals for whom the membership is responsible to Delta for the reimbursement of trips dropped.
