"At a time when reauthorizing the FAA should be paramount, it is neither a prudent nor responsible decision to introduce legislation that jeopardizes our standing as the world leader in aviation by gambling with risky privatization schemes. As experts in aviation safety, we simply cannot support this misguided legislation. The House version of the FAA reauthorization legislation, as introduced, shortchanges federal employees at the FAA and the American people."
