That isn't "chicken scratch".(I've personally flown with quite a few pilots who recouped north of $20,000 each using the provision that ALPA-PAC pushed....)
The amendment in the continuing resolution on the budget that initially halted the CBP checkpoint in Abu Dhabi.
(The administration directly ignoring Congressional mandate notwithstanding, there is bi-partisan support to fix it, but nothing moves quickly in DC so give it some time.)
FFDO funding last year was increased as a result of ALPA government affairs, even though it was supposed to be cut in half, there was an effort to tax our benefits, ALPA helped beat that. Increasing pilot training and experience standards, fighting efforts to change US foreign ownership and cabotage laws.
