Like flying with any other pilot. As long as the cockpit is kept professional, and not a just somewhere to argue about union politics, who really cares? People have the freedom to chose and ALPA has given its pilots lots of reasons to not be members.

I would go out of my way to make them feel as uncomfortable as possible. I would also make sure my ALPA lanyard and cheer poms are visible throughout the entire flight. Snide comments would be a must as well. I would also talk about my religion as well as political affiliation while we were at it...
I would ask how they feel about abortion and the upcoming election too...
Seriously, just do your job and go home...Don't start nonsense BS with anybody. Nobody cares.

I prepare by not brushing my teeth for a day or so, consume as much Indian and Mexican food as possible and frequent the lav often enroute.
By the way...Many of us really do care, if they're non-dues paying!! But, just do your job. No more, no less.

ALPA ain't gonna be a whole lot of help in that event.
I do know of a fellow at Piedmont who ran a little short of cash at a Bahamas casino (this was a charter). He put up the paperwork of a YS-11 as collateral - and lost!
