I have posted the following message on several flight attendant
forums...

I am asking any flight attendants who read these open letters to Mr.
Ward and Ms. Friend to forward it again to them at the following
email addresses and ask them why they will not talk with us. Your
unions have known about these problems for years and have refused to
get involved while they know your lives are in imminent danger.

If you die in a future crash, will your family believe the lie the
NTSB tells them about your passing?

John Ward
President
Association of Professional Flight Attendants

Mr. Ward,

Please read the enclosed letter to Patricia Friend, President of the
Association of Flight Attendants, and contact me. I would like to
discuss this issue which is putting your membership in imminent
danger. I have CC'd this to APFA's Vice President, Secretary, and
Treasurer.

James Bergquist

Ms. Friend,

My name is James Bergquist, former FAA air traffic controller and
head of our union, NATCA, in San Diego. I am concerned about the
lives of your membership and felt compelled to contact you again.

From the press release on your site at...

www.afanet.org/april8_let...a_sars.asp

I see Mr. Witkowski, your Director of air safety, is in communication
with the FAA and others in high places in our government.

Please read my open letter to President Bush which I posted on the
VJ592 memorial site at...

http://www.flight592.com/Flight592Discussion-
Current/_disc10/00000373.htm

and contact me. I would like to talk with you again. If you no longer
have my home phone number, email me and I'll send it to you again.

I am asking that you send the letter to him again at

president@...

You should know that I contacted Mr. Witkowski some ten years ago
when he worked at Ralph Nader's organization, the Aviation Consumer
Action Project (ACAP), with this information and he did nothing.

Maybe we can clean up the system and save the lives of a few of your
flight attendants.

On a lighter note, you might enjoy the cartoon on my website at...
