Herb Kelleher, Chairman, Southwest Airlines

"The BTC, through Kevin Mitchell's tremendous leadership, has become a proven asset to the business traveler, as well as the American consumer. We at Southwest Airlines greatly admire, and encourage the ongoing growth of BTC's strength and success."

Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter, Member of Congress

"I believe without the Business Travel Coalition, we might be in a different position. You have provided my office, other members of Congress, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice and the states' attorneys general with critically important information to make our cases against the United-US Airways merger.”

Jeffrey Shane, Associate Deputy Secretary of Transportation, U.S. Department of Transportation

"Kevin has made real headway in putting some of the concerns peculiar to corporate travel managers on the front burner among Washington policy makers in both the legislative and executive branches."

Senator John McCain, Member of Congress

“Kevin, you continue to do the Lord’s work. Keep up the good fight!”

Tam Ormiston, Deputy Attorney General, State of Iowa

“Kevin, we have been following your strong efforts to raise the issue of the UAL-US Airways merger and commend you for your success in reaching a broad public.”

James Haynes , President, Commercial Travelers Association

“Kevin has, seemingly single-handed, done more for the cause of the average business traveler than any other one person or group over the past two years. The attention currently being paid to the airline industry by the politicians in Washington can be largely be attributed to Kevin's work. He has spent endless days in hearings and meetings in the nation's capital.”

Patrick V. Murphy, Jr., Former Deputy Assistant Secretary For Aviation and International Affairs, U.S. Department of Transportation

"Kevin has definitely made an impact on these debates. He's as effective as anyone I've ever seen. Kevin's near ceaseless efforts to point out areas of difficulty in our domestic airline industry are very much appreciated here in Washington.
