“What this does is finish what we started — keeping the focus of the relief on the front lines,” said @FlyingWithSara. “This should get us through this pandemic to where the industry is building back the demand.” #ExtendPSP Read more from @loriara: https://t.co/iRTiysHuSq
Payroll Support Program has been the most efficient, cost-effective program in the COVID relief. It is the ONLY jobs and #WorkersFirst program. Now is not the time to let it expire.
📢Take Action.
Tell Congress to #ExtendPSP: https://t.co/eAn4Fv9m7T
"Congress has twice acted to provide critical relief to airline workers, pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, & will continue to do so as part of this budget reconciliation." Thx, @SenatorCantwell, for fighting to #ExtendPSP to keep us connected to jobs, paychecks, & healthcare!
BREAKING: The Senate has voted 50-49 in favor of moving the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package forward using budget reconciliation.
No Republicans voted for the resolution.
This is our #WorkersFirst package extended. It would not have been possible to get this jobs & infrastructure relief in March if @SenSchumer hadn’t fought like hell for it. Now we’ll get well over 100k back on payroll & healthcare - and have the means to focus on public health.
If Republicans drop their last minute demand to sabotage 2021 economically we could have a COVID deal within hours. This new demand introduced by Senator Toomey is all that is standing in the way of a relief bill passing.
Flight Attendants & allies rallied in #Chicago yesterday demanding Congress extend the Payroll Support Program. Congress needs to hear from us! Don't forget to take action today & everyday this week.

We're in an unemployment crisis and evictions are looming. @FlyingWithSara says we can't afford a pared down relief package. "We need a real relief package that is well over 2 trillion dollars. If we don’t get relief to people, we are going to fall into a ditch." #postlive
Today Mitch McConnell nixed the Covid compromise.
How did we get to the point where one senator can single-handedly thwart assistance that's desperately needed by tens of millions of Americans in the worst public health crisis in a century and the worst economy since the 1930s?
Airline CEOs urge Congress to pass a new aid package citing vaccine distribution. “As the nation looks forward and takes on the logistical challenges of distributing a vaccine, it will be important to ensure there are sufficient certified employees and planes in service”
Just to recap: After blocking the HEROES Act for more than 6 months, McConnell adjourned the Senate yesterday until November 30 – without passing COVID relief. He confirmed 5 of Trump’s lifetime judges in past two days, then left. No help for communities struggling amid pandemic.
