Maybe her replacement will be against it.

Head of FAA stepping down
Marion C. Blakey, the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, will become the new head of the Aerospace Industries Association, a trade group, The New York Times reported. Blakey was formerly the head of the National Transportation Safety Board.

If only that would happen! I hope America sees the light and keeps age 60 the way it is. It has served her well over the last bunch of decades

I hope it stays age 60. I don't think it will.

I fly with many older pilots. My concern is that older pilots that have a "good" FAA Senior Medical Examiner... (not gonna make any friends here) Pilots are so cheap that they won't get new eyeglasses...

If 65 goes through, i only hope that there is a serious medical done every 6 months.

Especially eyesight.

Sorry if this offends, i'm not a Sky Nazi.
