Hey, Kyrsten Sinema: Stop sacrificing airline safety for airline cash

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is in trouble. The latest public polls give her a 27% favorable rating, and 50% unfavorable—usually the kiss of death for a well-known incumbent up for reelection next year.

Now she has teamed up with her Republican colleagues to weaken the rules on how many hours of safety training pilots must complete before flying a commercial plane. And with the U.S. Senate's narrow 51-49 Democratic majority, that means she can hold up key business.

Her Democratic colleagues are not amused, and neither are we. “Now is not the time to put corporate profits ahead of the lives of our constituents who may want to board a commercial flight in the future,” said Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois back in June. “A vote to [change the training rules] for pilots will mean blood on your hands.”
