Default Pilots Not Paying Dues

I've been told a number of times on the JS from both sides that the former America West pilots are not paying their union dues. They are in contract negotiations and the Union is legal.

Is this true?

Don't know but I can't say I blame them. Perhaps they are still paying ALPA instead.

I've only heard the West's side of the story since one of our captains is a recent furloghee.

East outnumbers West by two to one or something so they were able to vote in a new union (USAPA) and the West guys don't feel represented by USAPA so they were refusing to pay dues. I guess theres a court case over it.
