remember, any tweaks would have to be in line with federal age discrimination laws. If the FAA raises the age, there isn’t a whole lot DL or ALPA can do that would be both legal and only affect those over 65. that is, unless a federal law explicitly allows it.

for example we cannot have our LTD end at a certain age. Any cuts to LTD would have to affect a 35 year old and a 65 year old equally.

same with having your seniority reset at a certain age. Not legal.
