not really

it needs to get out of committee first, then needs 60 votes to invoke cloture and end debate, then needs to pass the whole Senate, then reconcile if it’s different from the house version, then vote again, and if that passes then has to be signed or vetoed by the President.

it just had the first pitch, still a long ways away from the bottom of the ninth.

will it happen? Maybe. But not a done deal by any means.

You act like this is some controversial bill, It isn't. There is no political risk to supporting this bill by anybody.

Funny how every time the banks start failing and the economy is about to crash, they raise the retirement age and give us a 1-2 punch.

I feel like I've seen this movie before.

The legacy carriers have already hired for retirements and the covid travel bubble which is about to burst. If this passes, expect mass furloughs with 2 years on the street. Many pilots will no longer be needed until retirements pick up again.

I'm sure the thousands of airline pilots who will be furloughed because of this, and their families, will disagree. This is just more greed and money grab by a certain generation. We are back to 2008 now.
