I'm using "UNA" as a generic term, at other airlines you can bid for a status which is expected to not work much or at all.

Yeah, my bad. (is it just me, or has the reporting about this bill's status been very inconsistent over the last couple days?)

Indeed, now looks like Trump has issues with it and may not sign the current version (despite having previously stated that he'd sign whatever congress passed).

$600-$2000? Pretty big jump/issue.

And that jump from $600 to $2,000 supposedly will be under $400 million more in cost (+$1400). Just goes to show how much RUBBISH is being wasted within the first $900 Million. Definitely won’t have much to show for it. Just debt, debt and more debt up and beyond $27 Trillion now. Your grandkids grandkids will still be paying for this perhaps.

Not sure I understand your math. $400 million/$1,400 = 285,714 (people). That’s not a lot.

True, very true you are correct. Meant a B instead of an M. Just like the movie quote “1 Billion Dollars!” So make it 400Big Ones and we’ll make it 285,714,285 (people) which still makes no sense. Costs 400B for the $1,400 increase vs 900B for the initial $600 hence lots of waste. Thanks for the Dr. Evil correction.

“Anonymous” reports of Trump signing the bill.
