Thread re-opened since the FAA bill is now moving along. Discuss the facts and process only, all the generational infighting has already fully played out, feel free to scroll back through this thread if you need a fix.

The fact that Politico doesn't mention it as a point of contention in the final push might mean that it's already assumed to be in the final bill, or not in the final bill.
Either it's already been agreed one way or another by those who matter, or maybe it's not newsworthy because nobody GAS except pilots.
If the jungle drums were saying that it was going to be a sticking point in conference then you'd think that would be newsworthy. Age 67 might not be newsworthy but the FAA bill is and this has to get resolved. Maybe it already has been. Conference is very opaque, driven by personalities and agendas from leadership, and possibly even key swing voters when margins of control are thin (they are).
