I disagree. It actually says all any good union member needs to know about you. Good riddance.

Then I was never a good union member. I hate ALPA. Have always thought we should have an independence union. Should have quit a long time ago.

Let me guess.....It all started when you got screwed in the merger?

If post history is any indication, he's not fNWA. Username has been floating around APC since around 2007.

fDAL? Maybe, but the number of fNWA that did better that DOH is a couple hundred, tops. So if that kind of that bugs you, it was a very limited group.

No need to focus on one individual. I bet the number of people who upped their contributions after seeing his post/the PAC link more than offset them.

I'll post it again:
https://managed.alpa.org/pacdonation

If you haven't signed up, considering doing even just a few dollars per month. If you signed up a while back, consider bumping up one level. I think ALPA PAC earned their money this year with things such as FAA reauth.
Delta has the highest % of PAC contributors and won the JJ O'Donnell trophy for PAC participation. Thanks to all who have contributed something!

Just upped mine.. haven't increased it in years embarrassingly. The CARES act is proof of how well having union influence in DC works (not just ALPA, I know). The Trump administration and Secretary Mnuchin honestly saved a lot of jobs with the pressure from the unions.

And as far as this thread goes.. average days worked per month at DL probably 12-15 I would say.

Awesome work, doesn't matter you didn't in the past, thanks for doing it now.

I agree, Mnuchin did honestly a pretty solid job on CARES. It's worth noticing how ALPA gets wins under both parties. The 2018 FAA Reauth under Trump and a fully red congress was full of ALPA priorities. We all have our leanings, but I joke with my friends on the other side of the aisle that I donate more to their party than they do, as ALPA-PAC is so bipartisan.

As pilots, we have the best industry in the world in the US, hands down. It has not been given to us, and there are many who'd like to take it back from us!

Im just one data point but in the 8 years I've been displaying the ALPA PAC bag tag, I think I've had one captain comment positively and probably three or four say something like "you waste your money on THAT!?" Very rarely do I see others displaying the swag. That said, love seeing the positive support here and wish I saw more out on the line.

Disappointing, but we can be the change. I remember as an RJ FO having a PAC tag on my bag and an offline legacy capt stopped me to say he was happy to see "the young guys" (once upon a time) supporting the PAC.

If you fly with me you probably get a few minute discussion on the PAC at some point during the week. Mostly trying to answer my questions rather than do a sales pitch. Coffee either way when we land, but I might throw in a croissant if you sign up
