Unfortunately H.R 2997 has made it out of committee and could soon be headed to the House floor for a full vote. This legislation contains provisions for privatizing ATC, proposing to strip control of aviation-system oversight from the public’s elected representatives, and essentially hand control of the system over to a group of private parties, largely unaccountable to Congress. 

Your WAA Board of Directors asks you to please contact congress and oppose H.R.2997.

Members of Congress are in their districts all this week for the July Fourth recess, and it is critical for NBAA members to let them know we are for modernization, not privatization. Consider taking the following actions now:

✓ Directly contact your local Congressional office using NBAA’s toll-free action line. By calling 855-265-9002, you will be connected with your representatives and provided suggested talking points.

✓ Visit the Town Hall Project to see if your representatives will be holding local events or town hall meetings, and attend to express your opposition H.R.2997.

✓ Send a message opposing H.R.2997, by using the Twitter advocacy tool at NBAA’s Contact Congress resource.
