That may be the current book, and I'm glad it is. But we still need to watch this issue like a hawk. Eventually this will be costed out and we will be bribed with the value of our own jobs. Even if we don't initiate it, others will and that will put more pressure on us to do so. Any attempt by anyone needs to go straight to DC, the press and the Colgan victims with an agressive lobbying attempt to stop it.
