House already passed it. If it comes back from the senate with minor changes (likely), that can easily be passed pro forma, that's the norm. It does not start all over from scratch. Normally.

I agree it's on the back burner for a while but the big cognitive error that some pilots are making is thinking that the senate, congress, and the WH are all sitting on the edges of their seats over this issue. They're not, 99% don't GAS and many don't even remember the issue a week after they read the language (if they bothered to read it at all). Age 67 is in the system and if you don't like it you need to find somebody who cares enough to do something about it (that means you'll have to pay them to care, like everything else in DC). Maybe ALPA can make that happen.

Otherwise any delays are due to unrelated distractions like CR's and war, or other minor unrelated issues in the FAA bill which do still need to be worked out.
