I understand aviation safety (security and accident investigation and prevention) is important and that we need to work together with various government bodies to keep flying safe, but do you think ALPA spends too much time and money working on safety issues? They only thing I want to see on the cover of the magazine is what they are doing to directly improve pay and QOL. The NTSB, FAA, and TSA have their job to do, why are pilots paying for research and developement of rest rules, security, and aviation safety? Does not the flying public have an interest in this? Perhaps more should come from government funds. Please offer some facts and different points of view.
