Question and I know I can look this up but I'm going to go the lazy route. Do we have something in the PWA that prevents lean overs or nap flights? Or is it just not conducive to our operation?
Just curious if the Feds say 10 hour minimum overnight do lean overs become more attractive? http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky...zd6io1_500.png Actually, I bet the pic above could be titled "Bucking Bar asks questions in Sunday School." :D |

This is on topic and if WE ignore the subject (gun control in this case but that's not the point to my post) and focus on what is being said it's somewhat entertaining and very enlightening about the current state of lobbying in DC:
Gun-control official on Senate failure: ?Bribery isn?t what it once was? « Hot Air So the question is, are politicos voting on principle now?“Bribery isn’t what it once was,” said an official with one of the major gun-control groups. “The government has no money. Once upon a time you would throw somebody a post office or a research facility in times like this. Frankly, there’s not a lot of leverage.” As for defending our profession, anybody else just read the ALPA national update about sequestration and FAA furloughs? Departures in LAX will be reduced by 40% if allowed to occur next week. ALPA IS supporting the resolution by Sen Roy Blunt (R), MO which would prevent the FAA and DOT from reducing service. Interesting. |

In my opinion, and based on my experiences, politicos hardly ever vote on principle...and, I'm including both parties here. There are some...but the longer you drink from the govt fountain the less you really care about principle.

The problem here is that our president (the one all ALPA leaders urged us to vote for), doesn't want things like the Blount resolution. This president doesn't want sequestration cuts coming in areas that most folks would never notice. He wants the cuts to occur in the most public and most painful areas such as ATC and White House tours. There's no president in my memory that ever tried to hurt as many people as possible, like this one is doing.
Carl Absolutely agree Carl. It's shamefull! If Michelle just stayed in DC 1 more time without the use of the company plane.... The savings from that 1 trip would pay for a summers worth of WH tours. That would show true compassion for all those kids instead of a day on the view. |

Carl But it's germane to this industry and this forum....it will dramatically affect all of us if allowed to proceed. Shameful indeed! |

Agreed Carl. This is all about the 2014 mid-terms. At a time when our nation struggles to get healthy again economically, we have the administration employing tactics like canceling WH tours (which cost virtually nothing), shutting down the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, and now slashing (theoretically) the FAA manning. It's eye wash and propaganda.
