We've been working feverishly on many areas to raise the standard of Safety, Security, Survivability and Support for all those affected by aviation tragedies. Here are a few noteworthy upcoming events.
Tuesday, February 9th, Public TV - FRONTLINE 9:00pm Eastern time
"Flying Cheap" investigates the crash of Continental 3407 and reports on the deceptive practices of major airlines outsourcing to small regional carriers.
"It is a frightful as well as infuriating history of warnings disregarded, whistle-blowers punished and profit-seeking at any cost." Wall Street Journal
To see a preview go to: http://www.pbs.org/frontline/flyingcheap/

Friday, February 12, 2009 - First Memorial for Continental Connection 3407, operated by Colgan. On behalf of our members worldwide, our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends who remember their loved ones.
Feb. 12th the family members plan to walk the last mile(s) from the crash site in Buffalo to the airport to raise awareness of the need for Aviation Safety Legislation. If you would like to join them for the Walk please register at http://www.3407memorial.com/memorialwalk.php
CO3407 family members ask that you go to: www.House.gov and www.Senate.gov to contact your Congressman and Senators, and especially the following: Senators Harry Reid (NV), Dick Durbin (IL), Max Baucus (MT), Jay Rockefeller (WV), and President Obama: http://whitehouse.gov/contact. Tell them that "One Level of Aviation Safety" is long overdue. Be sure and note Aviation Safety in the subject line, and include your name and address with email messages.
