Unless this legislation is snuck into some must-pass bill, I don't see it surviving on its own.
ALPA was against 60 to 65 right up until they weren't.
ICAO will probably lead the way once again.
This is why you actually negotiate and make a fourth pillar in contract negotiations, make it less attractive to stay around if you can be collecting without working. The VEOP was an excellent example of this.
