Interesting. Trying to find the UALPA budget and no luck so far. Anybody no where to look?

Do you think those other expenses haven’t gone up while our pay remained stagnant?

It's put out each and every quarter in the UAL MEC Treasurer's report. You can find them on the UAL MEC website. https://www.alpa.org/ual/ual-mec-eli...sort=relevancy

Here is the ALPA Int'l Treasurer's report. https://www.alpa.org/-/media/ALPA/Fi...es-dollars.pdf

Did you even bother looking for them?

Perhaps they have, but is ALPA operating on a deficit budget right now?

Not a chance. In fact with the number of pilots coming off probation every month they probably have a pretty sizable surplus.

Yes Jerry I did look, but I wasn't searching under "Treasurer" which is the key. Once again you find a need to be less than personable in your reply. Most unfortunate.

It looks as if this discussion though can now say that there is perhaps room for cutting our dues as the MEC has amassed quite a war chest already having over $35 million in the bank. Plus on the other forum someone mentioned that Delta pays 1% less than us. Don't know if that's true or not, but it would certainly support the idea of reducing our dues if true.

1% of what? Dues or total income? Delta pilots are members of the same union United pilots belong to. It is call the Air Line Pilots Association, ALPA for short. All ALPA members pay the same percentage 1.85% of eligible income in dues.

was him that tried the in-house union back at 2010 or so
UPA?
what do you expect

Just a thought

The DAL MEC periodically rebates dues to the pilots, so the effective rate is slightly less.

I think you need to use air quotes when saying you can find them. They aren’t where you’d think they’d be, like under treasurer reports which are super old. Let’s ditch the cost of the magazine and make a useful website.

They do that because for years(possibly a decade) the Delta MEC has proposed a dues reduction of .15% but theUAL Chairman has voted against it. So, ??? Maybe, good leads the way and where the fixed costs remain stable a dues reduction might be in order? I mean, if our mantra is Delta + , maybe we could REDUCE them more than the "industry leading" Delta proposal.
