In reading more on the Bill it indicates the following as supporters...
  • Airports Council International
  • Air Transport Association of America (ATA)
  • Regional Airline Association
  • National Business Aviation Association
  • FedEx
  • Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
  • Rockwell Collins
  • General Aviation Manufacturers Association
  • National Air Traffic Controllers Association
  • Air Line Pilots Association
  • Transport Workers Union of America
  • International Brotherhood of Teamsters
  • United Postal Service
WTH, I find it odd that AOPA and the unions are for it....
Its a huge bill...addresses the entire operating plan and budget for the FAA..so obviously there are sections that are good for all of us, some of us and none of us. The increase in fees for you and me are small time when it covers tens off billions of dollars.
