My personal take is that government should not infringe unnecessarily on our liberties, and that includes livelihood. I also suspect but don't know that 65 is to low... which is why I'm in favor of a robust study, without any undue delay. Who knows? They might lower the age.

But if ICAO does it, we almost certainly will follow immediately. Apparently the administration is in favor, and they have votes to pass a minor bill, or attach it to something else (if you think the dems would filibuster over THAT of all things, you're smoking crack rolled up in your ALPA magazine).
Undue delay? Just let AI do everything in one hour and accept the results. LTD to age comparison? Sudden incapacitation rates for 121 pilots, or ATPs in general? I think it has to be a general population study. A pilot with a migraine will land an airplane if his career depended on it. The average citizen would curl up into a ball on the floor with a tension head ache.

general population studies make sense for best results.
