ALPA expects that attempts will be made to attach or include S. 65 and H.R. 1125 in each chamber's version of the 2007 FAA reauthorization bills which the committees of jurisdiction are scheduling to debate and vote on in May or June.
Wondering how bad this smells? Congress passed H.J. Res. 20, funding the FAA through FY07 with a continuing resolution. It is very unlikely that the House or Senate would debate or vote on an appropriations bill that expires on 30 Sep 07 when there's already a continuing resolution in place funding those agencies.
Perhaps ALPA's goal is to try to slide this into the FY2008 FAA Reauthorization Bill. In a Congress where the Democrats control both houses and have control of the appropriations subcommittees. And ALPA is trying to stop this? I don't think so.
