Signing bonus
I get a couple emails a week from our union about Christmas parties, early openers, elections etc etc and still I don't have the 5%of my signing bonus from our contract from how many years ago?? I'm a loyal ALPA supporter but I'm honestly about to chuck my pin in the garbage enough is enough. I honestly don't give a f&$k about this other stuff I want my money. Sorry I'll back the PAC like they backed my bonus, 5 years later minus interest. my loyalty is 100% to ALPA, minus my bonus, minus how many years minus interest...... ALPA is blowing it.

Yes I think all of us want the hold back. The good news is ALPA can’t spend it except in settlement of the lawsuits advanced by management pilots, whom were excluded.
I would think this should have been settled by now, but the longer lawyers can drag out a case the more their hourly fees pile up.

yep. add (to the 5% matter) Union Chairman Glawe forcing John Edwardson out, and Chairs Bathurst and Whiteford giving up 80 years of hard-fought labor contract gains, and one might reasonably wonder why any current pilots would be so rabid about out-of-date tie tacs.
but maybe set all that aside and appreciate what the most recent chairs have done. (hint:much better). i might even change my own opinion of the union people ....
