Wrong. I apply to an airline, not a union. But, when I’m hired I’m forced to join a union that I may not agree with where there leadership is taking me. Unions choose to take advantage of management through numbers, with never 100 percent of employees agreement to get what they want. I will work under the contract they negotiate because there is no other choice because that’s THERE choice how to handle management, that’s apparently the nature of the business son, but still doesn’t mean I should be required by law to pay ‘contract fees’ if I want nothing to do with them. I don’t work for ALPA, I work for the airline.

My ALPA scheduling committee just got me several thousand dollars for a scheduling contract violation. I’ll I had to do was email them.
How do you explain this?
I explain it as dues well spent and an impressive ROI. I guess you’d call it “corruption.”

Again (and we’re going around in circles now,) why don’t you work for a non-union airline. Or a corporate flight department. You and Sonicflyer would fit in perfectly. Let us know what superior pay and benefits you’re able to negotiate with your obvious superior flying skills and rugged individualism.

No circles here bud. Again to repeat myself, I work for an airline, NOT a union. I DON’T apply to a union for a job, I apply to airline. Hence why I should not have dues (fees) taken out if I don’t agree with their leadership. You guys chose to unionize and ‘negotiate’ a contract, tough sh*t I get to work under it because I have no choice, but I shouldn’t be mandated to pay anything by law. It’s very simple, deal with the consequences of backing your ‘brotherhood’.

But wait I’ll get back to ya in a few months since all work rules violations are posted for public witness. Then I’ll validate your statement and we’ll talk.

All work rule violations are posted? WTF are you taking about?
Nice job trolling.
I’m done with this.

Ok. What kind of pay and benefits do you expect to negotiate without the shackles of collective bargaining? When it’s time to upgrade and management says, “Thanks for earning that 4th stripe, stabaph. BTW, we’re going to pay you 20% less than your ALPA peers,” what will be your response?

So I’m ‘trolling’ because I’m apparently more informed than you? History proves that the weak and uninformed are always the first to go. If you choose to pay into something, you need to accept the consequences. So please, do us minority a favor and get informed. Step away from the cattle.

One of my co-workers quit ALPA due to a disagreement over how they handled something. He is till employed and dues come out of his pay. He does get money back at the end of the year. He pays a service fee, but does not get the protection etc. that ALPA gives.
