At this point who even cares? The vast majority of pilots aren’t for increasing the mandatory retirement age. What’s to stop a Delta pilot from introducing a resolution at a local council meeting directing the MEC to pursue a mandatory retirement age for all Delta pilots of 65?

Or, here’s another scenario… ICAO doesn’t reciprocate (why would they?) and those pilots are forced back to narrowbodies flying 3-4 legs /day and decide that going out on LTD is a better scenario. In 1 year DPMA is close to being insolvent.
