No, the point was that he said napping was not sleeping. So the pilots are allowed to nap, but not sleep.....

Kinda reminds me of Bill Clinton said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

ATA did not do a thing for this. ALPA was the driving force behind the entire restoration of the jumpseat and CASS. They spent a lot of money making it happen.

This is incorrect. There is no tax on travel benefits for immediate family members. There is a tax on benefits provided to those outside your immediate family. That is dependent children, spouses, parents. Some airline avoid the tax by charging a certain amount for some classes of passes often know as a yield fare. In a few rare cases airlines eat the taxes. Every so often the issue of taxing travel benefits comes up for immediate family. It has been beaten back each time with ALPA leading the defense. With ALPA losing clout as a national union however I think in the near future the battle may be lost. It would mean the end of commuting for most pilots.

Although they did just what you said, they can't take all the credit.

If memory serves me correctly, it was Alaska, UPS, and American that were the front running airlines to get it up and running.

Not like it's a secret, two of those companies are not ALPA.
