Here is an idea. You could be the head of starting a new ALPA committee, called the "Cleared to Dream Committee", or the "Education Committee", or whatever name you want to call it. Basically, it would be a committee that arranges speaking engagements, and seminars, at Aviation Universities, and Flight Academies, to speak with up and coming pilots, about the issues faced in the airline industry. It can be a way of educating them, and letting them know, that their help will be needed, once on the line, and what they can truly expect, once on the line.
One of the biggest things I notice, is a lack of education, among the people training to become pilots (like myself), as well as, even those, already pilots. I've been amazed at the number of regional and major crews I've talked to, who, they weren't very educated on the issues. Therefore, not only educating up and coming pilots, but also educating your fellow pilots.
