I haven't voted, lobbied, or pushed either way, but when I hear the "you are making me wait longer, and that is selfish" argument unironically I can only hand out the participation trophy.

You literally want money out of my pocket, and are calling me selfish for arguing against it. Should I give you 10 percent of my check too, do I get a participation trophy if I don’t?

Straight from the proposed bill:
On and after the date of enactment of the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act, subsections (d) and (e) of section 121.383 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, shall be deemed to have been amended to increase the age listed in such subsections to 67 years of age.
