I just can't get past these union dues. How can you take so much of the little money I have. That is my big gripe.
You think 1.95% is a lot of money? Remember, the only reason that you just got that payraise is because the Colgans are scared of ALPA. Just imagine what ALPA will be able to do once a new contract is negotiated.
unless I am a loser I will not need any of the ALPA services.
So, only "losers" end up with a medical problem and lose their medical? Only "losers" are falsely accused of sexual harassment? Only "losers" are concerned about seniority rights? Only "losers" get fatigued after a 16-hour duty day when the company still wants you to fly a part-91 ferry? I'm beginning to think that Bushhatesyou is right: you probably are management.
