ALPA-S Cargo is there only for the locals, expats are left in limbo
ALPA-S indeed is there for local term pilots being long term non-contract employees. However expats(contract pilots) are also represented in ALPA-S as associate members with no voting powers. However whatever deal (good or bad) brokered by ALPA-S is enjoyed by the entire co-hort. Hence statement is untrue. This also allpies to local term non-members.
