IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS THE 1950 DUES ESTIMATE RECHECK.
PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE GENUINELY APPRECIATED.

Dear Member:

As we close the year of 1950 and head into 1951 you should, by this time, have received your statement of earnings from your employer.  This is the Government Withholding Statement W-2 for the year 1950.  At the start of 1950, you estimated your earnings from air line flying for the year for ALPA dues-paying purposes and now that you have your W-2 statement of such earnings, you can state your actual earnings and correct your estimate of 1950 earnings, whether it be upward or downward.  Each year, Headquarters is required to send each member a "Percentage of Dues Review" adjustment card. This is required by Article III, Section 6, Paragraphs (d) and (e) of the By-Laws, which we quote:

"(d) When a pilot's gross annual compensation from air line flying on January 1 of any year falls into a lower compensation bracket status than the bracket in which he has paid dues for the year just past, Headquarters will make a refund based on the difference in such compensation brackets, provided the pilot requests Headquarters in writing to adjust and refund the overpayment. Such written request shall be made not later than March 1 of the year following that year for which refund is sought, and shall include a statement of total annual compensation received by the pilot for air line flying.

"(e) When a pilot's gross annual compensation from air line flying on January 1 of any year falls into a higher annual compensation bracket status than the bracket in which he has paid dues for the year just past, he shall pay the difference in his dues based on the difference between his annual dues estimate and his actual annual earnings for such year."

Headquarters has indicated on the upper half of the card, the bracket you estimated your income from air line flying would place you in for 1950.  In the space provided, please indicate your actual earnings from air line flying and if you were on Association business and received Flight Pay Loss remuneration from the Association, this must also be shown as it is in the same category as
