Make airline travel affordable

Please consider sending this message to your congressional delegates.

Please consider the following ATA recommendations...the people of North
Dakota need affordable transportation...the airlines need a break to give
this to us.  Please help us in this area...I do appreciate your attention
to this matter.


ATA Policy Priorities - FAA Reauthorization


The Senate Is Considering
FAA Reauthorization,
but Will It Improve the
Deteriorating Condition of Today's
Air Traffic Control System?


The U.S. airline industry is in jeopardy. Passengers on America's major
carriers see it every time they travel. Passengers are confronted with
growing delays, fewer flights and rising ticket prices from rising travel
costs and unfair taxes. Seven commercial airlines have declared bankruptcy
since Christmas. Airlines will spend $18 billion MORE on fuel this year.
Wall Street is forecasting losses of up to $12 billion for this industry
for 2008.

Congress needs to ensure that any proposal will accomplish the following:


Reduce delays and cancellations by modernizing the air traffic
control system

Stop unfair financial burdens on passengers - No PFC tax increase!

Require corporate jets to pay their fair share of taxes

Address skyrocketing fuel prices

Maintain the world's safest transportation system

The Future of the U.S. Airline Industry Is in Jeopardy.
