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.
So what are you all prepared to do when we vote this POS down?
Enough is enough already. We ARE major airline pilots. It's time we started getting the pay and respect we deserve. To do that, all AAI pilots will have to stand shoulder to shoulder united on this. Period!
But I won't ask you to do anything until you read it. Then I'll come back and bug you again... k? :beer:
...
But I might sneak a Cowboys sticker into your kit bag when you're not looking (won't actually put it on the bag, just a hint)....
Vote well, my friends. Vote well...
Anything other than what we have now is a no vote period. Don't go back wards folks. As far as ALPA, remember what they did to Eastern to benefit Delta. What we need is a strong front office. Alan has got to go along all the others in that office.
Now that's just harsh.Thanks, I'm potty training a new dog, and that sticker should help alot!
Kneck and shoulder still ache like crazy, especially after the torture specialist... ummm... I mean, physical therapist is done with it, but it's getting better - thanks for asking.By the way, how are you feeling after the whole thing with the forward cargo bin? Hope all's well.
Unlimited Turboprops still in it, they capped the 79-86 RJ's at a hard number of 25 instead of tied to ASM, but still left the 51-78 seat RJ's tied to ASM's which is a combination of a LOT of airplanes.
Bad, bad juju.
