Aero-News Quote of the Day

“ALPA continues to implore Congress to move legislation to extend the PSP as part of the comprehensive COVID-19 relief package under negotiation by Congress and the White House. For the tens of thousands of airline workers who were furloughed this week, an extension of the CARES Act Payroll Support Program is necessary to keep them from further economic and professional hardship and to help avoid the disastrous impact on the aviation industry, which is crucial to our nation’s economic recovery. We appreciate Chairman DeFazio’s continued commitment to our nation’s airline workers and pledge to work with all parties to prevent massive layoffs and disruptions to the U.S. airline industry. We urge Speaker Pelosi to find an agreement with Secretary Mnuchin to protect frontline aviation workers by extending this job-saving program before it is too late. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on a larger package, the House and Senate must move standalone legislation to extend the PSP.”

Source: From an ALPA statement in which it repeated its messaging about the urgency it feels to be necessary to keep aviation solvent, following yet another disappointment as lawmakers failed to provide needed regulatory relief.
