This is a republican controlled House Committee vote. 32-31 was the vote. Care to guess which side was the 31 opposed? Like I always say.... back the PAC and vote Democrat. Btw, this legislation still has to survive a full vote in the House and Senate to be attached to the FAA reauthorization bill. Check your email.... it takes 2 minutes to send the ALPA form letter opposing this bill.
I can vote for a group of people who support Modern Monetary Theory, which is factually stupid and bat **** insane, who are seemingly, actively trying to destroy the economy, who will happily ban continental flying in the pursuit of green-ness, whose foreign diplomacy is essentially roll over and give up, who scream “believe science” and then refuse to argue with any scientific integrity, who are problematic in so so so many other ways.
No thanks. I’ll happily fly with 67 and older people if it means I’m not raped in taxes, freedoms, among other bad things that come to the table with democrat (liberal) government.

Could it be the airlines? I'm not being a smartass, serious question. It would be a short term fix for their staffing problem. AA/UA/DL are pretty top heavy on the seniority list. Keeping them around is probably cheaper than all the hiring, transitioning, upgrading etc to replace them. With that being said, I hope this bill goes down in flames.

RAA. The regionals are desperate. They would kill their families to improve retention at this point and slowing mainline hiring/retirements is the only tool they really have left.
