That's correct. When the policy is fully implemented in a couple of years, everyone will be paying dues the same way, which hasn't been the case up until now.

So, are there airlines out there that are exempt from paying on their 401k money?

If so, who?

Lots of airlines, in fact. Anyone who has only a 401k plan and no other retirement plan has not been paying dues on their 401k contributions.

For what years do the revenues drop by 600K per year. Prior to 2015 or after 2015?

Can someone list for me all of of the ALPA airlines that this applies to?

The majority, if not ALL the ALPA regionals for starters.
