The interests and equities of both groups are similar, to enhance commercial aviation. ICAO is not really a regulatory agency, more of a clearinghouse to coordinate international regulatory inter-operability.

IATA directly represents the airlines

ICAO also tends to represent the airlines, through their respective national governments. Who typically want their airlines to thrive, as economic enablers.

Trump just appointed a pro 67 rep to ICAO.

Given all that I'd say the odds are better than even that ICAO raises the age, but I'd imagine a two-ish timeline to implementation. Then another 6-12 months for Congress to raise our age, which would be almost inevitable.
