There is no end to the number of people around the world who want to see the U.S. aviation industry thrive. Last week, two U.S. Senators, Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill. joined the bandwagon of supporters by introducing a bill titled, “The Securing and Revitalizing Aviation Act (S.3270), to address the need for pilot development and encourage more individuals to enter the field of aviation and for other purposes.”

Key Takeaways:
- The Securing and Revitalizing Aviation Act (S.3270) has been introduced to support the U.S. aviation industry and address pilot development needs.
