I'm sure you think that $7042 just magically appeared, right?

Agreed, taking dues out of money that was issued out as a bonus or profit sharing from an employee is up there with the inheritance tax in terms of sleaziness.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the pilot group is getting a profit sharing bonus from the hard work and support we gave the company, and while, yes, ALPA is responsible for helping get that in our contract, I don't see why dues should taken out.

Personally, I could careless about the $100-$200 at the end of the day I think it is just tasteless. If it's only a couple hundred bucks for each pilot, why not let them take it home to their families.
ALPA, collectively, gets enough money from Delta Pilots, I don't see why they need a bit more.

You're joking, right? Are you implying that ALPA is responsible for the profit sharing? How did the other employee groups get profit sharing?

Never confuse legal with moral. They do it because they can, not because it is right.

First of all I do not think dues should be taken out of the profit sharing check but, to be fair and answer your question, due to the fact that ALPA is our collective bargaining agent and negotiated profit sharing as part of our contract then, yes, they they are responsible for us being able to get a profit sharing check.

As far as the second point goes, have you ever heard of the unwritten "me too" clause?

Of course ALPA is responsible. Without caving in during BK and good old "constructive engagement" keeping our pay far lower than it should be, there would be less profits to share. Some people are sooooo ungrateful.

I'm sure it is back 10-12 pages somewhere but is the profiting sharing check also combined with our mid-month paycheck?
