Not saying things can’t/won’t change but you seem to think this is a 1000% a done deal because ONE Chamber has it included. That’s not even close to how this works.
YEah. We all watched "Schoolhouse Rock " on Saturday mornings, genius.

Today, RAA President and CEO Faye Malarkey Black sent a letter to lawmakers urging consideration of these important amendments.

Back the PAC baby !!!

Politics matter.

What’s “Schoolhouse Rock”? Before my time. I actually learned the Constitution by studying it and being examined on it, in school. Of course, when I was born, we had 48 states…or was it 57, I forget which?

Don’t worry they will retire anyway when they are forced to fly the 737 domestic for the last 3 years. Quite the lifestyle change

Actually, no the aren’t. Pinheads in Congress push for this during every FAA reauthorization bill as long as I can remember. Even if they someday do manage to do it, you can be sure they would ALL be covered up.😜
