Action Alert-US Airways Flght Attendants
Critical legislation is going through the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee that will be voted on tomorrow.
The legislation would move to an earlier date the June 28th deadline for air carriers applying for federal loan guarantees that Congress made available to air carriers following the disasters of September 11.
This date change would severely harm our airline's chances of securing a much-needed loan guarantee.
Please send this fax to your Representative today:
| Sample Letter for Campaign |
Subject: Dear Representative
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am a flight attendant with US Airways and a constituent living in your Congressional District.
Please contact members of the House Appropriations Committee and tell them that changing the deadlines set out by Congress immediately following the events of September 11 that allow air carriers to apply for federal loan guarantees to assist with financial difficulties caused by the terrorist attacks is wrong.
US Airways has followed the law in good faith, expending money and energy to meet the requirements and deadlines set out by the Stabilization Board which oversees the airline loan guarantee process. The deadline for this process must not now be changed.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue that could affect the lives of US Airways 36,000 employees and our families.
Sincerely,
|
