Despite serving more than 9 million more passengers/year than it was designed to handle, some lawmakers want to add MORE flights to DCA. We encourage Senators to take up the House-passed FAA bill and OPPOSE additional flights at DCA. bit.ly/4111xKu

Security lines stretching to the parking garage and still some in Congress want to add MORE flights to DCA, even though it's over capacity. Holiday travel is already complicated enough. The Senate should say NO to more flights - and congestion - at DCA. bit.ly/3uuiH71

.@United says it had a 100% completion factor across mainline and regional flights yesterday. Thats zero cancelations out of 4,121 departures transporting about 486,000 passengers.

Good news! @United is making it easier to fly for passengers who rely on wheelchairs to get around.

Now, we need every airline to do the same.

We need to pass my MOBILE Act.

“Delta’s desire to saddle DCA with more flights than it can handle should go the way of Gate 35X.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Cuts to funding would cripple their recruitment and training initiatives and jeopardize safety and efficient operations at airports all across the country.

A must see at Ford’s Theatre!
