You all forget I'm a 6 year regional fo not by choice, commuting from a previous base.

I get it, but the Pac is the only thing that's going to prevent all of us from having no career at all in 15 year. You'd be begging for your little sub contractor job back when your digging holes.

More importantly, why won't ALPA pick a fight that (1) they can WIN and (2) will improve the lives of ALL of its members? Why is ALPA not demonstrating the same fervor and using the same resources (that they are wasting on NAI), to get us out of the ridiculous and antiquated Railway Labor Act?

You want to talk about "unfair" practices? Let's talk about the way airline managements have unfairly used the RLA to stall contract negotiations for up to a decade for some pilot groups, knowing that their employees hands are tied and negotiating positions are severely limited. THAT,..... is a PAC that I could get behind!

Until ALPA starts fighting for the regionals,....... they shouldn't be begging for money from the regionals.

The fact the entire process is pay to play indicates that it is time for a reboot

I would disagree about AFA, APA, etc. not caring. All were present in the picketing in D.C., along with numerous other industry labor unions affected by this. In fact the president of AFA gave one of the best speeches of the day... And I also think that NAI is something that will affect ALL ALPA members because of the affect it could have an career prospects...

The ALPA PAC is AFL/CIO.
Why not cut out the middleman (middleperson, sorry) and donate directly to the Democratic National Committee.
Their carbon tax they say is needed to save the world will hurt you way more than NAI.
