Important for Alaska pilots, buried in the FAA bill is a "Pilot's Bill of Rights".  This is now signed into law.  The Bill of Rights for Pilots was designed to require the FAA to reform their ancient medical certification program.  For many years the Experimental Aircraft Assoc. and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Assoc. has petitioned the regulators in the FAA Medical offices for reform.  This new law has now fixed this problem.  Thank you Senators Murkowski and Sullivan.  Rep. Young may have jumped on the bandwagon late, but at last request from his offices he did nothing to support this Pilot's rights bill.
