UPS and FDX, age 65 may get more complicated
I saw this on another forum. It appears the Senior Pilots Coalition is going to challenge HR 4343 in court. Read the following from age60rule.com:

Guys (and you too freightpooch)...
I think if this group is successful in overturning the bill and providing retroactivity for over 60 as of nov 2006, it will have no effect whatsoever on ups and fdx. No one at either ups or federal has been forced to retire at 60...they migrated to the back seat. If they did retire, it was voluntary on their part. If someone took early retirement at 55, would we expect to have them be able to return to the left seat as well??

C'mon now let's be fair. These poor fellows wasted the best flying years of their lives suing everyone so they can fly longer and all those lawsuits probably broke them. Now they need to fly longer than 65 so they can pay of their lawyers. What a bunch of maroons. Maybe now Congress will see just what a bunch of spoiled children these losers are.

I think the concern is about the clause trying to prevent lawsuits against the various participants and supporters of this piece of legislation. I believe that would include those with a seat at the table.
I'm certainly not an expert - but I bet that if some of the lawyers in congress/senate actually had read the resolution, they would not have voted for it. "What do you mean they can't sue someone!!! By gosh, that's their God-given right!!! This is America"
