Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.
I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.
Last Congress, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Daniel Akaka (S. 998) and Representative George Miller (H.R. 1867) to address this problem and assure that all pilots are provided fair benefits.
Financial literacy and consumer protection issues are very close to my heart.
