Now that your on the Airbus should you change your screen name from 80ktsClamp to Man Flex 55 SRS RNWY auto thrust blue?

ALPA screws up and hundreds of ALPA jobs are lost (aka Comair). Have to make up that lost revenue somewhere.

ALPA didn't screw up, they just weren't there. Same with Midwest, etc. ALPA has done zero representationally for pilots mainline and regional alike for a decade now and has become nothing more then another self-serving corporation with no real political clout and an obscenely bloated internal salary structure.

Most, if not all carriers would do just as well with an internal union and why pilots keep defending these worthless clowns is beyond me. If you choose to hitch your cart to this glue factory refugee of a horse, you deserve to get soaked. I can't wait to see the reaction if the TWA pilots clean ALPA out and they come to the suck.....er, I mean pilots for big $$$. More crying and screaming for sure.......

I didn't receive the email, would someone mind pm'ing it to me? If I opened my own IRA would ALPA still take dues out of it? Been looking at this retirement account recently and I don't think the company 401k is workin for me.

That doesn't roll off the tongue so easy. I was thinking RetardRetard would be more appropriate.

It seems as though ALPA will actually receive less in overall dues money with this new rule.

Yes, just as they would right now with the old rule.

No, I'm a person with a little sense that can easily see how too many people at ALPA are making too much money for the product they offer. You are free to keep playing cheerleader though.

here is a thought, just fund your 401k to the company match, and do the rest of your investments on your own. You can even use the same funds as your 401k, just not through the company.
