If we can spend time on this forum, why not form an APC organization, donate cash and hire a professional lobbyist and public relations firm to educate the public, make the CPL harder to obtain, force the 1500 hour rule, rest requirements, etc? Air transport should be regulated as a utility as its just as important as gas and electricity to our nation. The FAA won't listen to us or Sulley but they will listen to congress.

How many of us are there? Those of you who are in unions can allocate funds from your dues and the rest of us can donate money to the lobbyist directly.

Only cash will get us cash.

Next step is to form a committee to start the process.

PS....If we already have a lobbyist, lets fire them.
