I am proud to be an ALPA member today, based on Prater's statements.

This is really good.
Wow. Was this Prater's opening statement, or just paperwork he shoveled at the Senators (to be duly filed in the round file can)?

This paper was so good I'm going to take pen in hand an write a personal letter of thanks to Prater. It's that good.

All the stuff on fatigue is well thought, presented, and argued. His emphasis on lack of "command training" is spot on. I NEVER thought I'd hear ALPA arguing for much the much more stringent and demanding EASA type written exams over the FAA exams, which are frankly laughable.

ALPA has really done it's homework with this one.
