Timing is everything - PR campaigns
How do you know ALPA is in airline mgmt's back pocket?
Simply answer a question with a question.
Why isn't ALPA conducting a nationwide advertising campaign buying billboard ads close to all major airports that say....
Every person off the street I talk to about this both can't believe it and think it's outrageous.
PR works. It generates buzz. It gets people talking. And they start asking executives and managers very uncomfortable questions....especially when it's announced those executives are getting big, fat bonuses at a time of huge airline profits.
Why isn't ALPA informing the public and getting public pressure put on airline mgmt's? Who does ALPA really work for?? Isn't ALPA supposed to represent all it's members equally, not just it's most senior members??

Did you know the co-pilots on your budget Regional Airline flight are required to have a 4 year college degree AND $100K in licensing/experience??
Did you also know they are paid less than $22k starting salaries??

Only regional pilots can fix this, but they choose not to. It's obvious. Regional pilots only care as much as b*tching in forums, but when it comes time to actually doing something about it, they're just not that interested.

Hah! Discouraging future pilots? From the union that brought us this website?

Almost every professional organization in the world has figured out that supply and demand is what controls wages. They can't control demand so they control supply by creating barriers to entry for the profession. Not ALPA though.
