Sequestration Scheduled for March 1
Ric Peri, AEA vice president of government and industry affairs, warned about the impact sequestration would have on the general aviation industry back in November. And unless Congress takes quick action, sequestration will go into effect beginning March 1.
While his words were published in the November issue of Avionics News, Peri's message still rings loud and clear. Peri wrote, "I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think this is a question of if sequestration takes effect, but rather when sequestration takes effect. These types of funding issues tend to disrupt operations for a minimum of six months, if they get resolved early. If not, it could be much longer. What does all this mean, and how can we, as AEA members, help?"
