Default Time to fight back...

I don't usually post on this side of the fence being a regional guy and all, but I figured this was something everyone should be interested in.

I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen this on here already, but I may have just missed it:

http://lautenberg.senate.gov/newsroo...cfm?id=268129&

Check it out and e-mail your state senator asking for them to support this issue. This issue has ramifications for ALL pilots, not just those at US Airways. I personally think it's about damn time....

If you don't know who your senator is or how to contact them, try this:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm

Edit - Forward this to as many people as possible. Repost anywhere. Eventually if we all yell loud enough, someone's gotta listen.

Check the links, this is what I got:

Weird. It works on the regional forum but I'll try again.

Try this:

http://lautenberg.senate.gov/newsroo...cfm?id=268129&

and this:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm

Edit - The links on the original post should work now. Copy and paste isn't as efficient as I thought.

Ok did my part. Wrote an e-mail to Senator Clinton and Senator Schumer. Hope It helps in something for the guys out there that lost their pensions and for us the future Airline Pilots.

Wow. That is awesome. Frank Lautenberg is now my favorite senator. If this happens, I predict it will signal the low water mark on the plight of pilots today. What a difference a democratic majority can make.

Thumbs up Excellent

That's awesome!! I'm contacting everyone I know to get them to write their Representatives about this. It's about time that big business take some responsibility for the promises they made to their employees.

Now I am petitioning to restore all lost jobs at all defunct carriers due to this load of crap that is called deregulation.
