&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Contact ALPA, DALPA,&amp;nbsp;AFA, APFA, and NATCA&amp;nbsp;unions to lobby aviation subcommittee of congress calling for hearings on aviation safety&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;If anyone is a member of the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA), Delta Airlines Pilots Association (DALTA), Association of Flight Attendants (AFA),&amp;nbsp; Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), or National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), &amp;nbsp;I urge you to post my messages on your union forums.&amp;nbsp;Also contact your union's safety departments and ask them to look into this safety issue.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;As you may be able to see, the press, aviation subcommittee of congress, and the&amp;nbsp;family members of past disasters do not want to see an investigation into these crimes that pose an imminent danger to the flying public. The life you save may be your own.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Here are links to the contact&amp;nbsp; pages..&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;ALPA&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;and their snailmail address and phone number...&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;I also ask anyone else who wants to get involved to contact Congressman Chandler's office and call for an investigation into the air traffic controller's action in the crash of Comair5191 and ValuJet592, and other aviation-related crimes on the part of the FAA.&amp;nbsp; Here is his home page..&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;when you get on the email contact page at...&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.house.gov/writerep/" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;http://www.house.gov/writerep/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;list your state as Kentucky and your zipcode as&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;40383&amp;nbsp; (you can leave the&amp;nbsp;four digit suffix&amp;nbsp;blank), &amp;nbsp;this is the only way to assure the message is forwarded&amp;nbsp;and make it to ATTN: Kerry Kohler, his aviation staffer.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;If you prefer to call on the phone, here is the link to his office phone numbers...&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;A href="http://chandler.house.gov/contact.html" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;http://chandler.house.gov/contact.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Here is a link to the contact information on the aviation subcommittee...&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;A href="http://commerce.senate.gov/subcommittees/aviation.cfm" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;http://commerce.senate.gov/subcommittees/aviation.cfm&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;Here is a list of the phone numbers for the members of the Commerce committee...&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;When you contact them, please post in this thread so others can see they won't be the first to step up to the plate.&amp;nbsp; Also please post if you get any response from them. This will also keep this thread on the first page where others can view it.&amp;nbsp; You can make a difference. The American people deserve more from their government.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;I and my associates are more than willing to testify to the subcommittee.&amp;nbsp; We know that we would face lengthy prison time for lying to Congress and have been asking to testify for many years.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Thanks You,&lt;/DIV&gt;

No mention of FAA whistle-blower and former FAA lead inspector of Alaska Airlines who was fired for exposing crimes in the FAA and at the airline. This FAA lead inspector sent President Bush a letter on 1/26/01 and she hasn’t heard from him. Here’s the letter…&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here it is again… &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.flight592.com/Flight592Discussion-Current/_disc10/0000036a.htm" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#22229c&gt;http://www.flight592.com/Flight592Di...0/0000036a.htm&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There is an identical story here. Mr. Rodney Stich was an FAA airline inspector of United Airlines in the 50’s. It appears that the same crimes were committed half a century ago and nothing has changed…&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.unfriendlyskies.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#22229c&gt;www.unfriendlyskies.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;James Bergquist&lt;/DIV&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
