2) Why would we pass an LOA?
Really? They've been planning to? Where have you seen that?
Because every time someone confidently declares ICAO will do whatever the U.S. wants, it's never rooted in any sort of fact or precedent. In fact, when they raised theirs to 65, the U.S. actually opposed it. History has shown that they won't make such a change without some extensive study on the topic, unlike our own dysfunctional government. So I'm just wondering where you get these facts from.
