The EAA are asking us to reach out to California’s Senators on the Pilot’s Bill of Rights 2 (PBOR2) and strongly ask them to co-sponsor the bill. This potential legislation needs only an additional 3 co-sponsors to reach a 60 vote majority. If this can be achieved over the next two days, there is a high likelihood that it will be taken directly to the Senate floor for a vote this week. Time is of the essence as the Senate will recess for the summer at the end of the week.
Please call Senator Dianne Feinstein at (202) 224-3841 and Senator Barbara Boxer at (202) 224-3553 and tell them why they should co-sponsor the PBOR2 and what its importance is to aviation in this country. It is always best to attempt to talk directly to your Senator and not just a staff person in the office. This is an urgent matter! A set of talking points is available here. Passing this bill has never been this close before, and with our help it is possible it can clear a major hurdle in the Senate.
