I agree. We have the most favorable political environment we have had in a decade, and are receiving a great amount of media attention that has everything to do with our current quality of life, yet people are still incredibly resigned to do anything about the situation they whine about day in and day out. Speaking of doing something, as opposed to whining, is there anyone with a good list of contact information of politicians who are sympathetic to labor issues? I have a pretty long letter written out, regarding how the current rest regulations, low pilot experience requirements, and low pay have directly affected my professional flying, but I only know of a few senators who are actually active on issues of labor.
