I understand completely how pathetic the US education system has become (dated multiple teachers the last decade), but I truly hope to god you understand how this works.
BOTH Chambers have to pass legislation before being sent to a President (who can potentially veto bills).
It doesn’t matter wtf a majority party in the House includes. The reality is the other side, in the Senate, has a majority and (as of now) doesn’t seem to care about doing much with 67.
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.

Meanwhile in the Senate Commerce Committee.....
A bipartisan group of Senate Commerce Committee Members have worked with stakeholders, constituents, airports, and community leaders to draft amendments to safely address the pilot shortage. Yet, Committee Majority Leadership won’t even allow consideration of these amendments because the Airline Pilot Association (ALPA) and the Senate Majority Leader (D) oppose them. Today, RAA President and CEO Faye Malarkey Black sent a letter to lawmakers urging consideration of these important amendments.

Back the PAC baby !!!

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
