Air Safety should not go to the lowest bidder. Please contact your
representative and tell them Air Safety is not for sell.
For all of you who fly, remember, it is important enough that your luggage
be screened by federal employees. But apparently NOT important enough that
the people who inspect the pilots, certify the aircraft maintenance and
maintain the navigational aids, radars, communications and so forth.
This administration is intent on contracting out to the lowest bidder an
important function that has been done PROFESSIONALLY (and safely) by "in
house" federal employees for over fifty years! I ask you to phone the local
office of your congressperson and senators and tell them to reinstate
protections (for Airways Facilities and Flight Standards employees of the
FAA) from outsourcing their jobs.
This is not a joke or a hoax! Legislation is being worked now regarding FAA
Reauthorization which will allow low bidder outsourcing. Please help!!!
