My guess is, if that happened, they’d lose 20% of current staffing—guys who are currently pencil whipped into the air would be LTDing in droves.
True statement and I'm sure the airlines are watching carefully... they should balk pretty hard at any additional screening which would affect those under 65, that would likely be counter-productive to staffing.
However... we've had age 65 for 15 years now and I don't recall any geezer-induced accidents in the US, so maybe they can retain status quo up to age 65.
