Here we go again. "Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act"

H.R. 5523 (Rep. Troy Nehls, R-TX): Introduced September 19, 2025

And now S. 4452 (Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC): Introduced April 30, 2026;

Here come the New Balance wear-ers screaming that they're healthy and should be able to exercise their first class privileges!
Yet they can't seem to figure out how to run crewnav or turn their ipad brightness down at 4am.

But you get to fly two more years too! What’s the problem?! /s

I just love hearing this for age 65, when I was stuck in the right seat making peanuts at my regional.

total untrue statements.

Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel can still serve a purpose.

They can serve in congress!

proceeds to hit the altitude intervene button 10 times while not in VNAV. “why won’t this dang thing start down?!?”. Um, gramps- you’re in FLCH.

Awesome. I get to continue waking up these senior citizens for 2 more years. At least when they sleep in the seat I don’t have to listen to anymore stories about “plumbing in the 72” and how they used to fly the plane in the zipper all the time.

‘And look how that is going..

Listening to the young guys cry about how bad they have it about the same as listening to their grand kids crying about losing their binky. Chicks dig pilots in skinny pants!
