PROFESSIONAL AVIATION SAFETY SPECIALISTS - TELL CONGRESS TO OPPOSE PRIVATIZATION

Next week, the U.S. House may vote on privatizing air traffic control. Call today and urge your U.S. Representative to OPPOSE privatization.

Here’s what to do:

• Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.

• Press 2 to talk to your U.S. Representative. Enter your zip code.

• You will be connected to their office.

• After you hang up, get more people to call—family, friends, and especially your co-workers at the FAA.

This will affect everyone at the agency in one way or another.

Phone Script

Remember to be polite and friendly!

Don’t argue with the staffer.

“Hi, My name is _______ and I’m a constituent.

I’m calling to talk about the FAA reauthorization bill, which may be on the floor soon.

“I work at the FAA and I oppose privatization of the air traffic control system.

The House FAA reauthorization (H.R. 2997) includes language to privatize but the Senate bill does not.

I oppose any bill that privatizes air traffic control.

“Do you know where the member of Congress stands on this? Are they for or against privatization?”

Staffer may ask for your name & address.

“Thanks, and have a great day!”

Hang up.
