I think Schumer is an assclown.

However, we all basically complain about the same thing in regards to gas prices, power company prices, etc. If we are still going to buy the same amount of gas and use the same amount of power, why should big oil or big power companies have to reduce prices just because their input prices have dropped?

You realize Schumer received ALPA-PAC funds? You are wasting your money.


These guys who get support are supposed to be pro-pilot...well that's great but how well do you think our airlines are going to be able to pay us when these supposed pro-pilot senators are the same idiots trying to squeeze more $$$ from our employers.

Access to leadership in DC is what its all about. I'm not wasting my money. I wish I wasn't necessary. But these days, it is.

Amen Mike! Donate to the PAC. It's the smartest thing an airline pilot could do.

Hopefully Chuck can also examine why Sierra Nevada wants $15.99 for a 12er, Apple wants $600 for an iPhone, and Chevy thinks it is OK to ask 30 grand for a Camaro...

Listen, Chuck - give me 100 JFK slots and I promise I will reduce fares in New York... For a while. Problem solved..

You realize there are 49 names on that list?

These guys get support based on their ability to fog a mirror.

So, PAC throws the money you guys donate away on names with a baseless reason other than these mirror foggers sign a little piece of paper saying they will help pilots? when in turn they just go after the companies who are finally making money after years of bleeding? What do you think the companies are going to do if they get hit with a higher tax, or a new tax on their fees? We know from history they go after labor.

I guess most of this is directed at the fact that I can't stand Schumer and a whole lot of other names on that list.
