ALPA PAC. Little did I know I was buying the knife that stabbed me in the friggin back. Not one more dime! We need to ditch agency shop on the next round as well.

I cut out the PAC right after they decided to reverse on 60 against the majority...

ALPA National said age 65 was inevitable and wanted to be a part of the change. ***!!! The next question. I keep hearing that Open Skies are inevitable! Does this mean ALPA National will end up supporting Open Skies?

P.S. Sorry, to jump on your thread

ALPA PAC has seen the last $250 I'll ever send them. This whole National and FedEX MEC seems to have a mind of its own and it doesn't seem to mind p*****g me off.

Hey FamilyATM did you listen to the ALPA PAC during the last few elections or just give money. Who did you vote for in the last three presidential elections?

FamilyATM

Let me put my flak jacket on. Went with the PAC almost everytime, Clinton for his second term, Gore, Kerry and so on with the local guys. I stand ready for the incoming.

As long as they can get more dues money and keep from flying the line, yes.

Well, a democratic congress voted for this thing without a single vote against it. Just how would who we have voted for altered this train? The sad fact is that ALPA is the one who drove this train out of the station, not the President.
