Briefed lawmakers on a Pilot Shortage affecting all four of the services. This House Armed Services subcommittee hearing runs about an hour 1 2. And a half. Comes to order. I want to welcome everyone to the hear on the shortage of pilots in military services. Today well hear from the services on their progress towards increasing the retention of military pilots both officers and warrant officers. We know pilot demands are increasing in the commercial sector and the demand to hire qualified military pilot is this higher than the available pool of candidates. With the problem being particularly acute in the United States air force. With the deficit at one point of over 1,000 total pilots. We are here to hear from the Armed Services on their plan. We know we cannot buy our way out of the problem since the military does not compete with the potential salary and some cases of the lifestyle of commercial airlines. So we must make sure the services are using all the levers in their control. F

You think about the minorities in the country and often times people, you know, start with the Africanamerican Community but largest is now hispanic community. And then you have the Asian Community growing in rapid numbers, especially the Fastest Growing group of immigrants is asian. Whoo about political participation an inclusion . Do people feel like they have a right to participate in this structure . Well, yes. Thats the message we have to carry to the community, to let them know that if they dont participate, their concerns are never going to be heard. Theyre concerned about immigration.

Change a lotally of things going into the convention. For paul ryan, this is all he can do right now. Night. Come in as a white even floatedhner him as a potential nominee. T been supporting Bernie Sanders up to this point. My concern is that you look at the history. You had a brokered convention in 1968 in chicago. The democrats were basically out of office until watergate. Realistically, it would have not. Een for the watergate scandal my concern is as a sanders reporter supporter, is the fact that millions of voters have chosen for their candidate and the bosses have the option to ignore them. Wonderingd, i am whether a million voter march in cleveland with help people do the right thing. Give these invisible voters who they neglect.
