Issue 2. Medical Standards: I care about my health more than flying. If I'm sick, I want to know. So worthless physicals have little value to me.

Issue 3. Insurance Rates. As far as I know, neither the FAA nor congress sets these.

We need a brief on the battle plan. We don't need a president blindsiding us with a flip-flop in the middle of a fight. We need a plan and we need to vote on it.

Someone asked for issues and I gave them. The Blue Ribbon Panel is working on the issues and some plans, and that should be out shortly.
