I'd just go to the website and fill out the contact form. Hear what they have to say. Vote yes or no based on what conclusion you come to.

If you have some time during an overnight, watch this video from the ALPA national officers talk about all the programs and initiatives ALPA tackles in representing all pilots, not just unionized or ALPA pilots.
The best argument for ALPA has always been all the safety, security, Jumpseat, and aeromedical advocacy they do on behalf of the entire airline pilot profession.

the disdain for Skywest pilots among those that actually do union work is high.
3/4 of the OO pilots need to get off their lazy butts and deliver themselves to ALPA. Tired of spending my dues money to organize them and passively support them as they use the jumpseat programs ALPA leads, use the KCM, use the pay rates and working rules to negotiate from.... basically the professional standard.
Then they show up in class at DAL and UAL stinking like OO pilots but think they smell like a prom date.
