For every captain that said that you have more that will continue, and 3 out of your 4 will change their minds at 65. Just the way it works.

Talk is nothing, these WB CAs with awesome QOL schedules making 500K a year love money too much to leave when they should. I would be surprised if even half of those who said they would leave would actually end up doing it at 65.

Yeah but how will they feel when they find out that no other ICAO airspace will allow them to act as PIC and they’ll have to spend the next 3 years as a narrow body CA and taxi a guppy in under the water cannons instead of a 777?

I didn't even mention the NB CAs. Their numbers are even significantly larger than the WB CAs and most aren't going anywhere if allowed to stay at age 65. My point is thinking that raising the age another 2 or 3 years won't have much impact on sonority progression is being foolhardy at best.

Are there any significant indications pointing to this happening in the near future?

Yes. Lindsay Graham has the votes.

Get in quickly so you can ride the bottom of the list for the next 3 years. It will suck, but it will suck even more being at a regional for 3 more years with no hiring at the legacies.

That would be so typical to simply stop hiring for three years. Zero insight…. Or GAF’s.

Few retirements all of a sudden, no need for new pilots, no need for a new contract, pilots can GFT as far as management is concerned. Until there's a huge rush of retirements in a couple years and shortage once again. Then them looking to gain pilots any way they can, other than paying them more. Sounds familiar...

Default Wia conference

How many people have gotten an offer due to them attending WIA? Or short you after since no one knows if that was the trigger or it was coming anyway
