ALPA sent me an invoice

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I got an invoice in the mail that said I had to pay ALPA $65.00. The comments say I am "being billed on an estimated basis for dues/service chage obligations"

The thing is I signed up right away for ALPA so I would avoid this and they have been deducting between $20 and $30 each paycheck.

I'll try calling them tomorrow but I usually don't get anyone because it is too late in the day after work.

ask them to itemize..
 
It's possible you missed a billing cycle at some point (or your company did in the DCO stuff). Do you have a membership person at your airline? If so they should be able to log in and see what you are being billed for. If not, your MEC chair might be able to.

This... Its what Bob said. More than likely the company either missed a cycle or has not been taking the appropriate percentage from your paycheck for dues. Its weird but it happens at CommutAir too and usually only to a few people each year.

So let's see: College Student, 400 hours, a couple instructor certs, and single-engine piston experience. Yet, you have quite the opinion on what services ALPA provides or doesn't provide (according to your vast knowledge) and what those services are worth.

Yeah, ok.....thanks for your input. :sarcasm:
 
even if you're not an ALPA member you should pay them some money for the safety they brought to the airline industry so you can fly home to have your mommy do your laundry for less than a beer bust in the dorm.

I hope you never say anything about pay, workrules, foreign ownership, insurance, 401k, safety, legal, contract administration, or a whole host of other options ALPA provides its members. Then again there have been a lot of documented successes from one man armies. Please think before you speak so you do not come across as such an ignorant poster.
 
I have never personally flown anything bigger than a Twin Bonanza and I've never been an airline pilot or even have a commercial - but I still try to send ALPA something with every paycheck. You should man up and stop being so cheap.

D-50 - Didn't have the Airstair - so maybe a B?

I think they started the air stairs with the D50E model, if that makes any sense. At least that's the earliest airstair model I have flown. The C50 (what we have) is the best of the non air stair bunch, in my view. Still can run 80/88 if you can find it.

(For certain, the A-C models were over-wing doors.)

You don't have to be an ALPA member to know they are a joke.
