On another note. Bringing in ALPA will not necessarily solve all your problems. They are better than IBT, but if you have the same leadership in place it is no better than what you have.
Common misconception. A majority of ALPA's 41 member carriers actually cost the Association more than they pay in in dues. Only the largest legacy carriers are able to support their own costs plus send extra money to National. The extra that they bring in is used to subsidize the other carriers that can't cover their own costs. The idea that ALPA only represents carriers to "make money" is absurd. If that was the case, ALPA would drop about 80% of the carriers that they represent and just stick with the big guys.ALPA national is in it to make money off of your dues.
It's certainly true that who you elect at the local level is extremely important, but I'll point you to the CAL MEC for a perfect example of how that's not the only thing that matters. When CAL was independent with the IACP, they had some truly great leaders running things. The problem is that they simply didn't have the resources needed to make large steps ahead for their pilot group. You can ask pretty much anyone from CAL ALPA that was also involved with the IACP, and they'll happily tell you how inferior their "student council" was compared to ALPA, despite the fact that many of the same volunteers were involved in both.They provide services to the membership, for a price. They do have better resources and training, but it's still up to your local. If it stinks, the whole will smell also. National will sign off on anything. ALPA is overrated.
I would not vote for MB or the other two guys that are running. I hope we geat a larger group to choose from.

Anything other than what we have now is a no vote period.
