We Are Out of Time: Save Aviation Jobs, Pass PSP Extension
October 1, 2020 — We call on Congress to immediately pass an extension of the Aviation Payroll Support Program (PSP).
We cannot wait. Flight Attendants and other essential aviation workers have spent months calling on Congress to reach a deal for a comprehensive relief package to help all workers, including an extension of the PSP. But when Congress failed to act before the Sept. 30 deadline, furloughs began immediately for Flight Attendants and other aviation workers.
While Congress and the administration continue to negotiate a broader deal, aviation workers cannot wait. Congress must pass a PSP extension through March, 2021, to support essential aviation workers, prevent mass furloughs and protect our broader economy.

HOUSE: 888-907-9365
"Hello, I am a constituent calling to tell my (Senator/Representative) that aviation workers are out of time. Furloughs have begun and we only have days to reverse course. We need an extension of the Payroll Support Program TODAY. Without an extension of this successful jobs program, there is no backstop for layoffs. This is just the start. Inaction is not an option. We are out of time #ExtendPSP now. Thank you.”
