[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 718566, member: 12508"] Many have called it a "sneak play" because it was.Google the "FAA Reauthorization Act of 1996" and take a look at Ted Kennedy's comments, among others, including Oberstar. Google Clinton's meeting with Smith while you're at it. Bill didn't do FedEx employees any favors. In fact, it looks like we were thrown under the bus by someone who probably fell on what little was left of his ethical sword. Cash talks.The language allowing Smith to keep his exemption was inserted at the last minute and quickly voted-on without further debate. It's no secret Smith was writing lots of checks. Is it legal? Probably so under our current system that lets those with the most money make the rules of the game. That's morally and ethically wrong. Oberstar doesn't much care for Fred. If anyone is going to re-insert the language Fred doesn't want to see, it will probably be him. President Obama really insulted labor by even meeting with Smith. He made it worse by praising Smith as a CEO. That's kind of like someone who is supposed to be pro-Israeli praising the Iranians, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
