Last night the Senate passed the F.A.A. Reauthorization bill (aka Aviation bill) 87-8. Following its passage, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, "The Aviation Jobs Bill is a good example of what we can accomplish when Democrats and Republicans work together. This bipartisan bill, which will create or save 280,000 jobs, is a downpayment on the jobs agenda Senate Democrats announced earlier this week. In addition to putting more people to work, this bill reduces costly and frustrating airline delays, protects the rights of passengers and modernizes an air travel system that relies on World War II technology. It is fully paid for and won't increase the deficit a penny over its lifetime."

  • Interesting. Both parties voted on this? I'd like to know more about it.

  • Too bad this wasn't in place before 911.
