NJA must have had doubts about how soon they could get age 65 MRR passed, I think that's why they offered age 70 if the Union would join them in backing it. Their savings are a lot less with age 70.

The age 70 still has to pass the Senate and then any differences worked out in conference.

OMG. Just retire. Go enjoy life!!
Age 70 is Bull****! 65 is correct. (I won't bother with the science--check the facts yourself; as well as the ruling from the 5th (https://www.nbaa.org/admin/personnel...rimination.php)
Ge the hell out the way. Let the younger men have a chance. I know you've got to pay for those 3+ wives, but ****, you should have had a better plan.
That's a FAA SCREENING exam. NOT a qualification for astronaut. I know 99% of your's only plan for retirement is to die in the seat. You know it. Quit hiding behind the AARP and any age-discrimination B.S.
Young guys are not going to spend $250K to become ATP certified to sit co-pilot to an old guy that doesn't have enough sense (left) or honesty in his diminished abilities to get out of the profession.
So quit the 50-shades of gray circle-jerk and go enjoy life!!

Sure, but this wasn’t a federal mandate via legislation.

We've had a few at NJ who talked about suing the union for it's "involvement" in the age 70 rule. Of course, the union was trying to get them another 5 yrs from the company's age 65 stance (improving their bank account by about $600,000) but never mind that.
The post above is enlightening, and may mean the end to any litigation the 70+ pilots at NJ had in mind (as ridiculous as it may seem).
