Louie Gohmert: “If a luxury jet liner is flying, taking off from Washington, D.C., and flying nonstop to San Francisco with one…”

On the recordFebruary 8, 2007
If a luxury jet liner is flying, taking off from Washington, D.C., and flying nonstop to San Francisco with one passenger and 16 crew members, and they land in San Francisco with the one passenger, the Speaker, and then, instead of stopping, they refuel and take off nonstop for American Samoa, at what point, if any, during the flight do any of the crew members fall under the minimum wage requirements of the Federal Government? Interesting question.
