For the record, the ALPA guy is Prater, the ATA guy is the head of ATA, and the RAA guy is, obviously, Roger Cohen, the President of the Regional Airline Association.

Big guns only @ this hearing.

I thought Prater (as our rep, whether you're ALPA or not) did well. Cohen, representing the RAA, essentially is forced to defend an indefensible position, given the record of safety @ regionals recently.

ATA also essentially admitted that the ULH rules are good. Makes me wonder why many of the ATA members are opposing them, as well as CAL ALPA (yes, this is my pet issue, CAL ALPA opposing the ULH rules DAL ALPA helped develop).
