16. Specific lobbying issues
Discussed with the Michigan Delegation to Congress plans that could excessively restrict and regulate flights by U.S. non-military cargo air carriers that are shipping internationally throughout the world pursuant to U.S. contracts. Many of these contracts are for U.S. military and humanitarian missions. Additionally we continued initial discussions to remind the delegation of the importance of supplemental carriers to U.S. military and humanitarian missions, and the importance of CRAF - Civil Reserve Air Fleet. We are also concerned about the increase in government contracts that use foreign carriers for U.S. military cargo shipping and contracts for maintenance and repair of U.S. Government aircraft that are awarded to foreign MROs. The challenge of proposed new regulations on methods for cargo loading in 747 aircraft may also cause a shift of this business to foreign carriers. We are also working to address that as well.
