Default SWAPA Pres Testimony @ Senate Hearing 2/9

Link to livestream below!

February 9, 2023
10:00 AM (Eastern Time)
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, will convene an Executive Session on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. ET. A full committee hearing titled “Strengthening Airline Operations and Consumer Protections” will immediately follow. This hearing will review the causes and impacts of recent air travel disruptions as well as consumer impacts to the U.S. flying public. For instance, Southwest Airlines’ operational meltdown in December 2022 left millions of people stranded during the holidays. The Committee will hear testimony from one panel of witnesses to examine recommendations and determine appropriate corrective actions to improve airline consumer protections and build stronger, more resilient airline operations.

I really hope Casey doesn't hold back and just lays it all out on the line if given the chance.

I sure hope so also


I also want to know why BJ is not going to be there. 15 miles away and too busy to talk at the hearings ?


I am guessing the puppet master does not want him to speak
