Kyrsten Sinema and John Thune for an amendment they proposed that would reduce the number of flying hours pilots would need to fly commercial.Duckworth accused Sinema, I-Ariz., and Thune, R-S.D., of caring more about 'corporate profits' and saying they will have 'blood on your hands' if the amendment passes as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization.
