All politicians act in their own self interest. 435 congressmen need flights to DC from their little towns. This ship has sailed. Save your money.

If anything, the pilot shortage is more acute today than it was 15 years ago.

It’s a good thing the Dems are in charge. Watch and see 😉

ALPA just restated their policy a few months ago.
