yes, between Fedex, UPS, and the dozen other cargo airlines, we'd be looking at 3000+ new jobs... and a big shift in the supply/demand curve for pilots..

Contact your congressman and ask them to support the Safe Skies Act that a R-Congressman from MN is sponsoring.... this will remove the carve out.
