Aviation industry seeks inclusion in US jobs initiative

Since it was overlooked for stimulus spending earlier this year, the industry has been stung by the fact that while Washington talks about jobs creation, it has not been allowed to participate. Now that President Obama is focusing on a new jobs effort - including a jobs summit held with US industry leaders last week, aviation interests are getting their bid in early. Indeed, one of the reasons aviation was almost entirely left out of the stimulus funding was it came too late to the party.
