Not what I meant at all. I was referring to the congressman having a strategy to get the bill passed without drawing much attention to it. Was a vacuous comment to begin with. Pay no mind.
And yes of course, back the pac.

Funny, In my 25 years I've never seen a Democrat support a Foreign Ownership bill. Or a Right to Work or Cabotage bill, either. Just a coincidence I suppose. It's too bad we don't have a Democrat in the White House. That VETO stamp is a powerful tool (if it gets that far).

this bill isn't going anywhere... it won't make it out of committee. IMO this blast email was more about getting campaign contributions then stopping the bill from moving.

In a nutshell, this is why our political system is in a abyss.

Dragon is retired military. He's got a pension. He could give a sheet about this industry. He'll be the first Emirates America off the street Captain after his furlough.

Slaphappy is just another Skywest fool who is bitter about his lost decade non-union sheet career.

ME ME ME.

I’m a Democrat but could and have voted for moderate Republicans who are pro-pilot.

The chance to have one of our own on the inside of the process instead of an incumbent congressman actively undermining our industry is a plus for me.
