I contribute to PAC. But dont you see RA is doing the same thing with Virg Atl, AeroMex, Gol, Maybe Sky MArk etc etc etc. All of our equity injections.
I think Etihad is taking a look at our playbook. They like our profits so they are going to mimic us on this new way to make money.

T, I understand your position. I was there myself. But, unfortunatly, a PAC is a way of life in DC now. Many foreign interests are using that to our detriment. They have deeeeep pockets. $20/ month is 4 layover beers a month. That's all. I am no rah-rah type but this I stand on. All I ask is reconsider.

I despise DC politicians.. ALL of them. I would rather eat a turd than give them any money. I cannot in good conscience do anything that would help that asswipe Chuck Shumer. He is singlehandedly bound and determined to destroy our way of life.

T, I can respect your choice but wish you'd reconsider... Can you bring yourself to contribute your time as a District Advocate since you cannot bring youself to contribute via the PAC?

Anyway, I get your moral compass. I left active duty for the same moral compass reason, Considered renouncing my citizenship, tried to figure out which foreign country to live in, etc.
You've heard the quote "money is the root of all evil." Well, it's a misquote. The real quote is "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." To me, what this means in this instance is that if you look into the PAC and you find their actions worthy, they are doing "good." Unlove some of your money and support the good things they do...So they can undo or subvert the "evil" done by those who love money.
They are after all working on your and my behalf.

If I may be so bold, my opinion is that your lack of action plays right into his agenda.

You and I are the positive/negative on this issue. I would rather keep ALPA with all it's flaws because the alternative group (and it's leader) is repugnant, and although ALPA-PAC is the only way to -as you say- bribe (and that is the CORRECT word) public officials. We need that but I cannot bring myself to participate, and I send a very heartfelt thank you to all those that do.

But I finally realized what Scambo, Scoop and others are saying. We're playing in a rigged game. The only way to compete and hopefully win is to cheat better than the other guys. Even if it means the shame of giving our hard-earned money those wh0res in DC.
Money talks. Bullsh!t walks.
