Almost choked and launched my coffee towards my screen while trying not to laugh at the comment: "Our segment of the industry is unique and it provides more and longer rest opportunities for its flight-crew members,"

Yeah, unless it's the holidays and it's min rest everywhere.

If this is true...then there should be no problem with compliance.....

The Congressman is a former NWA 747-200F pilot and heads several Commitee's on Aviation and Safety. Hopefully this will stick and get some support.

and the best part is he's a Republican, the party that's usually opposed to anything pro-union and in the pockets of corporations... he's actually bucking his party line on this... if he can get enough to follow, and the rest of the democrats, then Obama should sign it.
