We were informed today that the Teamsters Moratorium language has been stripped from the stimulus package because it was considered "pork" even though it was presented as cost neutral. This does not mean this item is dead, only that we will now be looking for another Bill in which to attach this provision. There is strong opposition on the Republican side of the Aisle regarding this issue due to their relationship with big business in this country. The ARSA is lobbying hard against us as I've reported previously.
Along this line I'm sure you've all seen this article on the FAA shutting down the AAR landing gear shop in Miami.
That's all for now. The weekly report will be out later.
