The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA)—which represents over 77,000 pilots in North America—plans to pay back $50 million in member dues this year. In a Friday letter to members viewed by AirlineGeeks, ALPA president Captain Jason Ambrosi called the move a “first-of-its-kind, across-the-board dues return.”
According to the letter, the return comes “in response to the record 2023 revenue gains.” The money will come directly from ALPA’s national funds, Ambrosi added. Airline-specific committees will also be able to provide their own refunds.
