if there was a windfall to the rule change it was narrow and airline specific.
A 59ish yr old pilot who received a weighted payout from an airline bankruptcy due to age based on age 60 retirement arguably had a windfall in then realizing the additional 5 years.
Otherwise its 6 of 1 half dozen of the other for everybody else.
