The data speaks for itself: Between 1990 and 2009, more than 1,100 people died in accidents on U.S. Part 121 passenger airlines. Since new pilot training and qualifications requirements were passed by Congress in 2010, the United States has not experienced a single fatality on these carriers, proving that well-trained pilots save lives.
Now, these life-saving standards are under attack in Congress. Special interests in Washington, D.C. are pushing to weaken pilot training and qualification requirements – and putting aviation safety at risk. The best and most important safety feature of any airline operation is a well-trained, highly experienced, and qualified professional pilot. It’s time to take action, and we need your help.
