Pilots Bill of Rights 2 Wins Senate Commerce Approval
The committee approved a compromise version to address concerns raised by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) last month.

The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee December 9 approved by voice vote a compromise version of the Pilots Bill of Rights 2 that addressed concerns raised last month during initial consideration of the measure. The bill, S.571, a follow-on to the original Pilots Bill of Right that would ease certain current third-class medical requirements and strengthen pilot protections during enforcement cases, now heads to the full Senate floor for consideration.
