Even IF the Senate doesn't keep 67 in the markup, it's still in the House version of the bill and STILL could survive Conference Committee to the final version. And no matter what some pilot thinks of 67, there's just not anything so contentious in the bill right now that this congress won't eventually pass FAA Reauthorization.
