OK No problem. I'll do some research on that myslef. Thanks anyway Bob.

Actually I favored reform. I dont think that adults should be allowed to spend recklessly and simply walk away from their debts unless there was some catastrophic totally unforseeable event. My former neighbors had bragged about how they maxed out all their credit cards to the tune of $75,000 and walked away from all of it. I get to pay off their debts through higher prices and interests payments. Bankruptcy had become a means by which people could avoid taking responsibilty for their actions, now only corporations have that option.

BTW Bob, I would still like to review the number of the bill and the party vote breakdown on the change in personal Bankruptcy laws to which eluded to earlier.

The only show of force that will help labor in this juncture is an industry wide walk.

BTW limit, Thanks for the link and research on Bankruptcy Law changes.

Maybe that is what Bob was talking about, but I dont see where that restricted our (working men) ability to file Bankruptcy.

Bob, already stated that he had no specifics and was relying on memory of WSJ report. I can respect that honesty.

I still say we should gather all workers in the industry and prepare a unifed show of force to stop the ABUSE of Bankruptcy Laws to get out of labor agreements just because the industry refuses to raise ticket prices to cover cost and/or reduce capacity to match demand.

This is really an equation of smaller airlines or smaller paychecks.

Which do you prefer?

RV4,

Please help me finish this letter or better yet email me a rough draft to put my own name on.

Dear Honorable Congressperson,

It is with deep regret that I inform you that due to the current state of affairs in the airline industry now, in the past, and in the future due to corporate and political fraud, union and company mismanagement, I am submitting my FAA tickets for your destruction. It is my hope that I will be followed by all workers in this vital United States travel industry. Until the government, management, union leaders, and politicians realize the mistakes, correct these mistakes and rebuild from the ground up I believe it is in the publics safety interest that I as well as tens of thousands of other FAA licensed employees take a break of service. The stress mentally and physically has begun to take its toll and I feel that the public would do better to travel by other means for their own safety. Reading daily reports of companies threatening bankrupty then asking me to sign a lower minimum program safety related system on an aircraft at three in the morning is not in the publics best safety interest.

Please find enclosed a signed petition representing the airport at which I serve indicating that additional FAA issued tickets are to follow.
