"It would not have been possible to get to this point in our contract negotiations with our management without the strength of an international union behind us and beside us - from financial support to the best staff resources our dues money can buy."
- Capt. Dave Nieuwenhuis, ASA
"I could see that unless we got a pilots' association with real power, there wouldn't be enough money in airline flying to make it worth my effort. I would have to go back to slipsticking at a desk, and I didn't want that; I wanted to keep flying."
-Byron S. "Pop" Warner, one of the 24 "Key Men" who founded ALPA
