I would have thought that contract negotiations on it's own was probably important enough.
Some of the other valuable services they provide are a bit like insurance. You hope you never need it but are very grateful to be able avail yourself of the help and support if you ever need it.
Then there's the MBF and the salary continuance schemes that they arrange, sure you pay to belong to these but you get something at a price you probably couldn't get elsewhere.
There needs to some organisation which can provide advocacy for pilots, something that we cannot do as individuals. ALPA may not be perfect and you may not agree with all the things they say or do, but there isn't anyone else there to provide a collective view point for pilots.
So I really wonder what the point of your post was.
