NBAA’s president and CEO Ed Bolen took the opportunity to encourage attendees at the NBAA Regional Forum in Van Nuys, California, last week to contact their representatives in hopes of moving the FAA reauthorization bill along while opposing the ATC privatization provision that is stalling its progress. NBAA recently implemented a system that makes it easier for business aviation supporters to get their voices heard either via email or Twitter.
NBAA Streamlines Process of Contacting Congress
Key Takeaways:
- NBAA is urging its members to contact representatives to advance the FAA reauthorization bill while opposing the controversial ATC privatization provision.
- The FAA reauthorization bill is currently stalled in the House due to the insistence on ATC privatization language by Chairman Bill Shuster, despite Senate approval without it and majority opposition.
- NBAA has launched an easy-to-use system to help business aviation supporters quickly contact their representatives, significantly increasing advocacy efforts as the current FAA extension expires on July 15.
