Far from a done deal, but hopefully a good start....

Uh.....we are talking Congress, folks. Though I hope it works out I have little hope of common sense coming out of that establishment.

General aviation news says there are now 223 members of the House in the General Aviation Caucus. That is half the house members (new record).

I guess that is a good sign?

Maybe this is a way to get the FAA moving.

Re: Possible change to medical requirements.

Speaking of Congress: What is all this talk that I see on the news last week (thursday, friday?) of COMPROMISE, (What!!) and being OK not to get everything your way, from both sides. What is going on? Like a 180 reversal of language, with significant criticism of extreme positions (WOW).

Is it possible that they are beginning to understand how pissed off the electorate is about the failure to compromise and get something done.

Could this be a real trend that will continue?

Guess this should be in the rants and such post area. sorry.
