still waiting to see how Mooney reacts.
Out of principle it should be fire and brimstone. If it doesn't affect his career choices it might be "I mean nothing in this world is perfect".
Mooney, I'm willing to pay for your lawsuit against the union if you choose to stand on "on the right side of history" and fight it. Ball is in your court.

Latest estimate is NJA has 75 pilots over 70. About half are out on medical. And there is a proposed 1 year implementation. So roughly 40-50 pilots will be forced out sometime in 2019. Depends on how many turn 70 between now and then.

Some of them may surprise you. Reminds of the guy across town who flies his US Flag and USMC flag in his front yard that he mows himself no matter what the temperature. Maybe we need a cage match between the older and younger crew to determine seniority

The House has passed H.R. 4 by a vote of 393-13. This bill contains the Age 70 Mandatory Retirement amendment and also language calling for the creation of an FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to study and update flight duty and rest rules for Part 135/91k operators.
It also prohibits the "Foreign Flags of Convenience" scheme.
Many of the arguments for age 70 rule for large operators can also be made for matching the FAR 117 rest rules. If they improve 135 rest rules it'll be around 3 years before we see any changes.
The Senate will consider this bill next month, if it passes there it goes to Conference for any differences to be ironed out, then to the President for signature. Probably late summer before it would become law, then there's a 1 year phase in for the age 70 rule.
