Senate confirmed 48 “en bloc” nominees today. Jeff Anderson (big raise the retirement age guy) wasn’t one of them. There isn’t a scheduled vote tomorrow for more nominees.
So, it looks like the United States probably won’t have an ICAO ambassador by the ICAO session next week. Anthony Clare will continue in the temporary position. He hasn’t stated either way if he supports increasing the age.
It’s a blow to EPAS/LEPF.
