In a word Politics..........
I won't argue our once Democratic Allies in the House and Senate have flipped flopped on the issue. But we didn't have any Republicans on our side on this issue that I am aware.
Now that the EEOC is involved with AGE 60 and with the Political posturing for the Presidential race in 2008, no side wants to be seen as supporting AGE discrimination.
The Administration, not the House or the Senate, agreed to OPEN SKiies with the EU and is pushing for the same with Pacific Rim nations. They further agreed to allow ICAO Pilots of Foreign Airlines to Fly into and out of the US.
This fact is probably the single biggest nail in the Coffin to stop any change in the AGE 60 rule.
Remember also that the current Administration wants (and tried unsuccessfully so far) to single handidly change the rules on Foreign ownership without any input or say from Congress
