It’s a strawman argument to say “donate if you’re so happy”. (Which I do, with PAC donations) The argument is not “I want to give my personal money to ALPA” the argument is “don’t complain about paying 2% when you’re getting 20% more than you would without a union
Silly rabbit.

For all the "urban mythers" out there, please raise your hand if you have been a voting member of the ALPA National BoD meeting...
I have, and if you have been also, then you know ALPA could trim a lil fat. Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive machine behind the scenes and if I had my preference, I would take ALPA over in-house or another airline union. However, it's disingenuous to say they couldn't trim some extravagance.

Some trimming is definitely possible, though.

1.9 hours block per work day. Nice job. Sounds like the boss went for overkill on the plane. Seems like a good gig.

Nice work, I'd go back to the G4 if I could've found that gig. How many days a month do you have to be "ready" to go though.... last part of the puzzle.

If we don’t have at least 72 hours notice, I’m presumed off. He can ask us to fly with less than 72 hours notice, but we aren’t obligated to do the trip; we can hire contract if need be

Hard to say for sure. I’ve been here 12.5 years. His kids now run the business and use the airplane when he’s not. With a G500 on order, and the kids now controlling the business, I’d say the job offers quite a bit of security.
