Congress Votes on Amendment to Reinstate Fired Pilots From COVID-19 Jab Mandates

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday on an amendment to H.R. 3935, “Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act,” that would reinstate pilots fired due to COVID-19 jab mandates.

In a 294-141 vote, the Uniparty shot down the amendment to reinstate fired pilots.

211 Democrats and 83 Republicans voted against the measure.

“Miller (R-IL) on behalf of Greene (R-GA) – Amendment No. 36 – Requires airlines to reinstate pilots who were fired or forced to resign because of vaccine mandates – VOTE REQUESTED,” The Republican Cloakroom writes.

We have a severe pilot shortage delaying flights issues yet Congress just voted down an amendment for airlines to reinstate pilots who were fired or forced to resign because of vaccine mandates. Only one House Dem voted for it. Vote took place about 3 minutes ago on the floor. pic.twitter.com/lfAVVnr9SW

Another interesting amendment shot down by Congress would have required an investigation into the FAA’s decision “to broaden the acceptable EKG range for pilots to fly.”

Congress voted against the amendment 258-177.
