What a Jack ***!!! That article is seething with arrogance. "I'm a Senator, I did nothing wrong, I agreed to more training, even though I did nothing wrong". Blah blah blah...

Yeah right, and I'm Betty Crocker. I can whip up a home cooked meal in under 5 minutes.
I wonder how difficult HIS 709 ride was.

Thanks for trying to scuttle the new flight and duty time limits to curry favor for $$$ from the dirtbag ACMI operator in your district. "We the people" feel more than a little desperate thanks to pompous a-holes like you in Washington.
(Although I do think the concept of some legislation to actually give us some rights in an administrative action is a good thing, the incident that prompted it is beyond the pale)

I hope the bill of rights passes. All of its points are valid. Especially the redesign of the NOTAM "system". On one of my typical flights from the east coast to asia, there are no less than 15 pages of NOTAMS written in hyeroglyphics that Egyptologists could not decipher. They are written to minimize comprehension and maximize pilot blame.
This will be a good law if passed, but offered up by a legislator who should not be flying airplanes.
