This morning, I heard a short news item on NPR Morning Edition talking about the FAA fees and how they will cause a hardship on Alaska's pilots who should not have to pay the increased fees.
It is interesting to note that the tie-breaking vote to allow FAA User Fees legislation out of committee came from the same Alaskan senator who later introduced an amendment to exempt Alaskan pilots from the fees.
