You're right. It's just begun. Keep the pressure on, and the topic fresh in their minds. Right now, the politicians are just trying to answer the question,"Is there a problem, and if so, does it require new legislation?" You have the ATA, RAA, and other airline management interests saying,"Nope, no problem here." Then, in the other corner, you have ALPA and other Labor interests saying,"Yes, there is obviously a problem." If it's a cause that pilots believe in, then we should be a united force with ALPA and the other Labor interests in saying, "Yes, there is a problem; we are on the front lines, and this is why there is a problem." Just my take on the matter...
