So you didn't vote for your status reps and don't go to LEC meetings....
Look, man, I'm not saying ALPA National salaries are acceptable, they may or may not be...
What I am saying is this........
You guys get on FlightInfo, in the crewrooms and cockpits and sportbitsh. You feed off of misinformation and get "off" slamming ALPA based on street trash talk. But nothing changes. So really, who is ineffective? Either lead, follow or shut it.
Is ALPA ineffective? Hel1 yeah! But so is it membership. No voter participation, no LEC meeting attendance and no ALPA-PAC contributions. There are 20+ year ALPA members that don't know the difference between an LEC and a MEC. How are you supposed to deal with these kind of pilots? How are you supposed to deal with apathy, ignorance, arrogance, conspiracy theories, antipathy and paranioa?
The direct information on ALPA salaries is posted on FI, but no one reads it to debate it or discusse it. Which indicates, you guys really just want to be pissed off, bitter old maids. What are your expectations? Are they justified? Are they realistic? Until you take the time, this includes the 20+ pilots, to back up your 1.95% and understand what your money is doing, you are going to be disapointed.
What I am saying is....look in the mirror. Before you throw stones look at your house....
Air Line Pilots must have representation. I don't care what the name of our assosication is. When you anti-ALPA guys decertify ALPA I'll support whatever replacement you install.....but until then I am supporting ALPA, despite its faults, cause it is all we got! The industry is changing, and so must ALPA, however, you whinners are offering no solutions! All you do is cry in your Wheaties. Let's shake up the organization, weed out the 'pigs at the trough' and make it better. Can you? Do you even know how? Do you really want to? Or is your FI fix all you really want?
