If one is going to dispute rumors (or support rumors) one must go to the SOURCE. Here is the unequivocal SOURCE. Let’s put the “ALPA is lying” conspiracy theories to rest.
NEHLS AMENDMENT
Read **PAGE 7** above. How this is going down is that **NEHLS** offered an amendment to HR 3935, the FAA Reauthorization Bill. That is TRUE.
The standalone bills in the House and Senate are basically intended to smokescreen the process and to promote the PR campaign (Graham’s press conference, etc). They don’t have a chance. Clearly, it is MUCH more simple to tack something like this on to a more important bill of massive proportion than to pass it in both houses and have it signed by Biden as a standalone.
Now, it just so happens that there is a very senior Delta pilot with the same last name who lives just outside Houston, in the same town in which Congressman Nehls lives, which is in the same county where Nehls was formerly the sheriff. That is also TRUE. Coincidence? I’m certainly not going to post personal information here; you can source that for yourselves.
