ICAO meets this fall, and they might start a 2 year period of study which is in their bylaws. Its not likely to pass since of the 36 member states of ICAO all but a handful of them have 65 as the max age in their country. If ICAO changes the age to 67 it will be 2-3 years away and then the US will have to address it, but who knows how long that will take.
You absolutely would have age 65 right now had it not been for ALPA. It was 1 vote in committee that stopped it. They do have influence in Congress.
