The current airline issues are pretty simple. Flying used to be fun and now it is a major pain show up 2 hours early get patted down take off your shoes they charge you for everything etc. But the mai...n problem is the airlines "treat you like cattle" now I hear they are making bathrooms smaller and taking away another 3 inches of leg room away from customers all to squeeze another $ from each flight. Airlines are just getting too greedy you can not treat people like cattle or pigs and pen them in the smallest cage you will continue to have problems. "Humans are not livestock" Airlines please quit treating people like they are! See More

I believe that the only way to keep everyone happy is to administer a shorter version of the AT-SAT exam before a student starts his/her education at a CTI school. In doing so you will weed out at lea...st half of potential future ATC applicants , ultimately you're doing the student a favor as well by saving them thousands of dollars in student loans by hinting to them that they are not cut out for the job. Once a student graduates you then give them the "real" AT-SAT and take it from there. From this the FAA will have a higher passing rate at the academy and save money on training a person that shouldn't have been there in the first place. The only ones to take a slight financial set back(from loss of tuition) are the CTI schools being that now instead of allowing anyone that applied to take their ATC courses, they're only allowing the ones that passed the "mini" AT-SAT.

They can meet as a committee every minute of every day, but if 'we' can't get a real handle on the mega monster of TSA we are going t keep having worse issues". Keep the pressure for accountabi lity an...d giving more scrutiny to the 'tarmac' employees. And make sure ALL TSA employees are vetted. See More

I don't even give Congress one star…it's one too many. Congressma n Bill Shuster is typical of the congressio nal inaction of spineless wimps who will bankrupt the future of our children and grandchild r...en just so they can stay in power. They have no interest in protecting the viability of our current transporta tion infrastruc ture and at the same time building a new transporta tion system that will serve our nation well into the 21st Century. Instead, they insist that it can all be done by using one-time transfers and other accounting gimmicks. Typical horse manure. The problem is simple…it comes down to three absolute truths: 1. we have NOT been paying adequate fuel taxes for a LONG time. 2. We have too long relied on a 20th Century funding mechanism that doesn't take into account the realities of a changing transporta tion system. 3. Our elected officials have for too long used the highway trust fund as re-electio n bribery to keep themselves in power by promising us the moon and the stars and delivering a proverbial map to the Hollywood stars. (In other words a fantasy.) See More

We have not gotten one, even one bill from this Congress or from any Congress, since 2008, at least, for a jobs/ infrastruct ure bill. Two bridges in the nation collapsed, our highways need updating and... improving yet we've not gotten one such bill. It's shameful, particular ly in light of the fact that we've had the worst economic downturn in 80 years, since the Great Depression . Push for a jobs/ infrastruct ure bill. We don't want yet one more "do-nothin g Congress", like last year's. Please. For the love of God and for the good of the American people and the economy, give us a jobs/ infrastruct ure bill. Push for it. Demand it. You're absolutely not doing your jobs. See More

Have you people in the Committee not learned anything from history. Lets have a review. House Republican s and some Democrats are against massive investment in fixing our infrastruc ture. These same peo...ple claim that it will not spur on the economy. No lets look back to just after the great depression . Millions out of work. The current Government decides to invest heavily in the infrastruc ture of our country. The Eisenhower Interstate system is built, The Hoover Dam is built putting those struggling for survival back to work, and brought this country out of the Depression . See any similariti es here hmm.

Pass the Clean Water Protection Act to the floor. Tennessee has already passed its own law to restore the Clean Water Act for Tennessee. Feel free to follow Tennessee' s lead in this. By restoring the ...Clean Water Act you will end the contiguous permitting of cross ridge and mountain top removal operations that are burying our head water streams. For example, the Columbia River that provides Nashville' s drinking water is polluted by heavy metals from Kentucky surface mining sites. In this case Tennessean s must look for the Federal bill to protect their water sources. Also, you will not see the moonscapes of contiguous permitting in Tennessee because our State Congress restored the Clean Water Act for us in 2009. See More

The recent United Airlines incident highlights the increasing authoritar ian aggression from airlines towards passengers . I would hope our elected representa tives are mindful to protect the rights of p...assengers against violent and unreasonab le actions, all under the guise of free commerce.
I would like to see legislatio n presented which will enhance and protect passenger rights. See More

I cannot believe highways and public transporta tion continue to blame the resent Amtrak wreck to Congress. Watch and listen to the news. Currently it is suspected to be caused by something hitting the... windshield . What is the facts? See More

Something MUST be done to protect the consumer from the ravages of the VERY PROFITABLE airlines. What other industry can SELL something they don't have?!? While over-booki ng MAY be economical for ...both the business AND the consumer it is simply NOT RIGHT. Airlines need to address over-selli ng. ie: selling a product they simply do not have. ONE: Sell up to the limit of the aircraft, and then sell "waitlist" seating. TWO: Sell some seats at a reduced rate called "bumpable" . VERY specific terms could be attached to these "bumpable" seats. Both the airline and consumer would KNOW, and agree to these terms.
This SHOULD be the start to a full passenger bill of rights. In the aftermath of 9/ 11 "waitresses" were given the power of the police and became "cabin crew". They are OVER-THE-T OP in their authority. While necessary for the safety of the passengers , the flight attendants are really there for passenger comfort.
I look forward to progress on this VERY IMPORTANT issue facing Transporta tion at this time.
As a businessma n, and a Travel Agent it is Economical ly Imperative that this be fully dealt with. The potential for lost dollars in the business, and especially the pleasure market can not be lost to foolish and greedy business tactics like that used by UAL.
UNTIL we have a quality passenger bill of rights you are doing a "poor" job. See More
