Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Our bill ensures foreign airlines seeking to serve the United States play by the rules. Today, foreign airlines can set up under a flag of convenience to exploit weak labor laws in other countries in order to save money and undercut competition. And across the globe, there are attempts by foreign airlines to undermine important labor standards to get ahead. This bipartisan bill protects American jobs from predatory and unfair competition, and it protects the American flying public from deception.”
