If Babbitt had fought for this as ALPA pres when the issue came up in the '90's, he wouldn't have to address it now.
He did fight for it. Unfortunately, the ATA fought harder. It's real hard to change status quo in Government Regulations, especially, when you are trying to shift the cost burden to Companies who can claim financial hardship! The airlines were still recovering from the economic slump caused by Desert Storm.
