When are we going to grow some and put an end to this BS...Where the hell are my union dues going? I think if you get furloughed you should be given back you union dues!!!

ALPA is supposed to stop companies from furloughing?

When one makes stupid statements, one should expect stupid comments in return.

It may be a comment that is a pipe dream....but it has merit.

Face it. ALPA has been neutered. They are an ineffective bargaining agent for airline pilots as a whole. They may be good for segments of the airline business at certain times, but they are ineffective to the whole.

Further, they make sure that all their shops are agency shops....so you cannot withhold your dues when you feel like they are screwing you or not acting in your best interests.

I wish I had that kind of setup......No matter what I do, I still get paid.

Until the members of ALPA unite, clean house in Washington, and start over as a unified group....the profession will continue to degenerate.

Interesting show on one of the news networks this evening. Three hundred State workers in Washington (State) may lose their jobs for refusing to join the union. You have got to love brave people like them for fighting socialist thuggery.

It is so wonderful to see this idea going forward. I don't mind if XYZ airlines pilots decide if ALPA (or whom ever) are their bargaining agent, just don't make me join if I don't want to. You want to pay them? That's your problem.

You do your thing. I'll do mine. I bet I retire richer. If not, I lose.

The American way.

Would you be praising ALPA if 9/11 never happened and oil never hit $60 and airlines were all paying $300/hour and had 4 year upgrades for the 777?
