Are you tired of the President’s rhetoric bashing the general aviation community and his administration’s continuing posture that the industry does not pay its fair share?
Well, take advantage of our 16th Annual Day on the Hill on Thursday, March 29, and let Congress know why this president and his administration are wrong in their views on general aviation. Every year, NATA encourages its members to come to Washington, D.C. to visit with their Members of Congress and their staff to educate them on their businesses, our industry and the role general aviation plays in the U.S. and global economies. And every year our members respond by taking time out of their busy schedules to meet with congressional leaders and discuss issues including, but certainly not limited to, the detrimental impact of user fees, how temporary flight restrictions are suffocating FBOs across the country, and airports competing against FBOs.
There is certainly no shortage of critical issues affecting our membership as can be seen via the association’s 2012 Policy Priorities.
So, please check your calendar and try to squeeze in a day or two at the end of March to participate in the association’s 16th Annual Day on the Hill and 2012 Spring Committee meetings. Our members’ support of this event is instrumental in educating congressional leaders on the importance of the aviation business community!
“If you’ve never participated in Day on the Hill, you owe it to yourself and the next generation to participate this year! A better understanding of the political process unfolded for me after a “visual inspection” of the congressional offices. The NATA staff did a great job of outlining key issues and the opportunities for other issues for us to discuss with our representatives. It was immediately apparent that congressional representatives were not fully aware of crucial issues that we face in the aviation community. Your representatives and their staff need to hear from you regarding your legislative and regulatory concerns and their effect on your business.” – Marian Epps, Epps Air Service Inc.
