This will get bipartisan support and will probably pass unanimously.

That right there should tell you it’s an idiotic proposal.

So one? And an ExTO person not VSP?

I personally know of that one ExTO captain. There may be others. The one I know of was a unique situation. Significant other is a FDX pilot.

Congress can always pass a law which would always supersede bureaucratic regulations and process (assuming POTUS signs it). No particular due process required, other than normal legislative process. Although some analysis would probably get done by somebody, staffers or lobbyists, and used as supporting material during the committee/ congressional debates. Good chance legislators would ask for the regulator (FAA) to weigh in with their opinion and data. But ultimately congress and laws supersede bureaucrats and regulations, however it plays out. IIRC that's how got the 1500 hour/ATP rule.

Current FARs have, in some cases, matching federal law. IIRC examples are PEDs, alcohol, falsification of FAA forms and there are others. Typical reason is to put criminal teeth behind certain regs.

There are many other FARs which have no matching federal law, and are only subject to regulatory/admin law/civil enforcement. Example would be landing currency, there's no federal criminal penalty if you're out of currency so not going to jail for that.

Depending on the push to make this law, I wonder if it’s possible Congress may skip or fast track analysis, debates and the NPRM due to data available from foreign countries (ie. Japan age 67).

I know one cpt that took VSP and was planning on going to an ACMI. I dont know if he did but I know he took VSP

Kinda like O2 at F250

Every kindergartner knows that changing the rules in the middle of the game is unsportsmanlike.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4ffb84d011.jpg

Edit: I don’t know what VSP is. I thought ExTO was the early retirement/ 5 years paid leave.

EXTO - voluntary LOA - on the hook for recall.
VSP - voluntary separation - leaving the company.

Gotcha. VSP in that case. Thanks.

This time I am going to make out bigly! Apparently Lindsey is including a cognitive test every 6 months with raising the age limit. It's the same one the former President passed easily. It's called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and there ain't no way I am going to be passing that. Looks like LTD for me.

But I will be selling a Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test Prep for $1,500 to the diaper wearers that are worried about not passing. 85% pass rate garenteed. This boomer has also sold his house for $985,000. I paid 82,000 for it in 1989 and never spent an once of money updating it. Moved into my millennial sons basement rent free. Extraordinary times require extreme measures.
