With broad bipartisanship support, the Senate passed the Aviation Jobs bill on Thursday. "This legislation, which will create or save 280,000 jobs," Reid said, "is a down payment on the jobs agenda Senate Democrats announced earlier this week.  In addition to putting more people to work, this bill reduces costly and frustrating airline delays, protects the rights of passengers and modernizes an air travel system that relies on World War II technology. It is fully paid for and won't increase the deficit a penny."
