Notice you don't hear the Age 67 supporters talking point that this is a 'done deal' much anymore though I do still see "our opinions don't matter"? And now they send a signed letter to Congress dated 1/9/24. I guess both of those talking points are erroneous much like those in this letter.

Their lobbyists told them to push the 'done deal' BS so pilots who don't support changing the retirement age wouldn't bother to call their Senators. Age 65 happened in large part because a minority of older pilots were more engaged and active in lobbying Congress.

Time to be heard. Let your Senators know how you feel and that the FAA Medical is incapable of evaluating cognitive decline. Pilot calls and emails that support ALPA's message on the Hill are quite effective.
