There is absolutely no incentive for congress to change / amend this act. Firstly, ALPA lobbyist cannot even come close to the "contributions", aka bribes, that the airlines offer. Secondly, why would congress amend an act that provides years of stall tactics to management and keeps aircraft in the air making their constituents happy? Why would anyone help out the over-privileged, overpaid, egotistical (not being sarcastic with egotistical) pilot?

. The act will not change.
