10月11日,很多人都收到了一封来自美国国家公务航空协会(NBAA)高级副主席Chris Strong的邮件,标题为“Can you afford to stay out of this fight?”

  邮件中指出,美国总统奥巴马在上周的候选人辩论中,再一次用轻蔑的语气挑衅公务航空,“为什么我们不取消公务机公司的税收减免?”奥巴马说,“我认为,既然公务机公司能买得起公务机,就付得起全部的税收。”

NBAA认为奥巴马的言论误导了大众,但两位总统候选人将就业机会提到他们议程的最高位置时,不幸的是总统瞄准了公务航空产业,一个提供120万就业岗位,每年创造1500亿美元收益的行业。

  据悉,在总统候选人辩论刚结束,NBAA总裁兼首席执行官埃德·保伦当晚就发表声明,强烈谴责美国总统奥巴马的言论,包括蔑视和错误描述商业航空行业。

President Obama Once Again Singles Out
Business Aviation

October 10, 2012

Dear Aviation Professional,

During last week’s candidate’s debate, President Obama once again spoke of business aviation in pejorative terms.

“Why wouldn't we eliminate tax breaks for corporate jets?” the president asked in his debate remarks. “My attitude is if you got a corporate jet, you can probably afford to pay full freight, not get a special break for it.”

We feel that statement was misleading and easily misconstrued. Equally important, at a time when both candidates claim to be putting job creation at the top of their agenda, it is unfortunate that the president chose to target our industry, which supports 1.2 million American jobs and generates $150 billion in economic impact.

Before the presidential debate had even concluded, NBAA responded forcefully with a statement issued to print and broadcast news outlets across the U.S. Our comments have been covered by national organizations, including CNBC, and periodicals read by Capitol Hill staff, including Politico. We will continue working to correct mischaracterizations of business aviation, and explaining why the industry is essential in America today.

With this letter, I am asking that you also join us in this battle. Specifically, there are two steps you can take.

First, you can help NBAA rally Congress to our cause. You can make sure your elected officials know of the importance of business aviation in your state by visiting NBAA’s online Contact Congress resource and sending a letter we’ve prepared for people in business aviation to highlight the industry’s importance. It is critical that everyone in business aviation reach out to their members of Congress and reiterate that our industry is essential to local communities and the national economy.
