The absurdity of 65.
Talk about absurdity. You hit 65 and and are perfectly safe. 65 and 1 day your a total disaster waiting to happen drooling all over the place not sure of where you are. REALLY ? C'mon man get real LOL 😆

In my opinion, this will never happen. Lindsey Graham was "looking at this" whatever that means. Check the news, nothing since and no bills/legislation introduced. News flash, the rest of Congress has to approve. Well, it has to be introduced first, which, has not happened.
back to regular programming. If you are 64.8 years old and flying for the airlines, you can skip the plan to hit age 65, become a sim instructor in the training center, "retain your seniority number", and return to the line once this passes.
Sorry boys.

My sense is that will change and if the govt determines Age 67 will help with the pilot shortage they will change it without a thought
Same for dropping the entry level from
1500hrs- 750hrs.
Last time, it basically happened overnight.
ALPA quickly changed its stance so it could affect the legislatation
