Only federal law (or the constitution) can supersede federal law.
If you hate 67, don't rely on your union to fix it after it passes.

Dear Hon Senator Snort,
Congratulations on your 82nd birthday.
We will keep this simple. We want to pay taxes until we die.
We are offering to surrender the benefits we have earned to the good of the general Treasury. Last we saw you had spent $4 trillion that you don't have. Let our employers help you out with that.
Sincerely,
Bob

Canada has also already indicated in no uncertain terms that if the FAA increases the mandatory retirement age from 65 to 67 that U.S. pilots WILL NOT be able to fly in Canadian airspace as this would be a violation of ICAO. Sssoooo that means that airlines would have to plan around pilots/routes that encroach on Canadian airspace (DTW approaches etc). We don’t even have certainty that 65+ pilots would be able to fly to Hawaii because that is through ICAO airspace.
This whole thing is an absolute cluster ******* in the making and the pro 67 crowd knows it and are full steam ahead regardless. Unreal.
