While I can see the need to have a voice in Washington, this isn't the kind of legislative influence that I'm willing to support.
It's as if Roger Cohen from the Regional Airline Industry went to ALPA and asked for relief on the proposed 1,500 hour hiring minimums as it would have a devastatating effect on the supply of pilots and of course the leverage the few qualified pilots would have. And alpa told him no problem.
