FAA Proposal
The Big Airlines' FAA Bill
Read the Actual Bill:
Read the actual airline-backed FAA Bill as it was presented to Congress on February 14, 2007. It was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 6, 2007 by leadership of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, as a courtesy to the FAA. It was also introduced in the Senate on March 30, 2007 by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, also as a courtesy to the FAA.
Breakdown by Section:
Read an FAA document that boils down the legislative language by section. This is for your reference in finding specific changes in the bill. For example, the new “user fees” proposal, the new “advisory board” expected to be dominated by the airlines, the tripling of the fuel tax or the huge jump in cost for routine certifications.
Skewed FAQs:
Read an FAA-released document attempting to justify their financing bill. Note where they admit that the fuel tax is an ultra-efficient revenue collection mechanism.
