So if I instruct in my Bo and don't pay dues, am I a scab?

Yes and every time you jumpseat, someone who pull out a list of CFI's who instructed at non-union wags. This would probably include a father who taught his son to fly for free. However if the father is already a dues paying union airline pilot there will be a wavier cause in the contract.

But what if I bill $75/hr? That would likely be higher than union wages. Wouldn't I be helping the cause? In this case, the union should pay ME, right?

ALPA - a, so called union, whose members are fragmented and fight one another for work. An organization in which one group can vote to work for substandard wages which in turn drives wages down for its other members.

ALPA is a dinosaur. Every airline under the SKW umbrella needs to unite and form our own in house union. Can't dump ALPA fast enough!

Can't do that until Skywest pilots vote to make SAPA their union and then demand one list in negotiations.
