ALPA taking a bigger chunk of your pay raise?
Just received via e-mail from ALPA HQ.
Starting July 28, the ALPA Board of Directors will be voting on a change to the ALPA Constitution and By-Laws. If approved by two-thirds of the BOD, this change would make all pilot salary deferrals to 401(k) pension plans subject to dues.
This would replace existing policy—currently pilot contributions to 401(k) plans are exempt from dues only if the 401(k) is the pilot’s only pension plan—and would both clarify ALPA policy and ensure that it applies consistently to members across the Association. The proposed revision was strongly endorsed by the Executive Council and Executive Board. Please watch this video outlining why this vote matters to all ALPA members.

I believe most airlines are accessed dues based on gross pay, this resolution just formalizes that.
Check your pay stub and your dues are most likely already based on gross pay - not pay after all deductions/taxes.
I'm not a fan of paying any more, but in many cases there will be no change.

What is ALPA going to do about the revenue shortfall with the airlines that have folded (where any of them ALPA?), furloughed guys at ALPA carriers (does anyone have a number on this - they are all relatively junior, but there are lots of them), and probably the biggest loss - the USAPA defection? Can't be fun to be the ALPA Treasurer these days I wouldn't think.
