I'll admit that I was surprised to see this letter from Airline mgmt. However, I am in agreement with them and promptly fired off the letter.
But there is something else WE all must do. Follow this up with your elected officials by monitoring their activity on this subject and send another e-mail with you approval of their action. Or if necessary send an e-mail stating your displeasure and that this will weigh heavily on your decision should they be seeking re-election. If feel that if enough people would respond in that manner they would take notice.
Too political? Sorry but this is affecting everyone.
