I'm going to stay optimistic about this sudden interest in pilot pay and rest. At least if congress investigates you can bet there will be plenty of talk directly with pilots (ALPA, at least) for our side of the story.

I think we as pilots need to do every thing we can to keep the movement going by writing congress, talk to our union reps, and generally keep the energy going. Just checking tonight on CNN.com there are several pieces revolving around the NTSB hearings. We'll see where this will go but even if it stays in the public eye for a week it will be a big win for us.

Stay positive folks!
