This could be a non-issue tomorrow if Mayorkas simply resigns and I don't rule that out as a possibility, as it would eliminate the need for Sens Tester, Brown, Rosen and a few others to go on record on the subject. As of now, it looks like Mayorkas will remain in office with no indication of submitting his resignation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77zUN4QWVJ0
Thank goodness Mayorkas is keeping the border secure.

[QUOTE=FangsF15;3793708]Oh, you mean the lone congressman pushing his DL-pilot brother’s nepotistic self-interest? Who you probably think did a bang up job at the commerce committee meeting (to which he’s not even a member, but pushed his way in), where he was literally the only one to bring up 67, and came back to it again and again, 7 separate times? That guy?
Thats like taking Cousin Eddie’s word he’ll pay Clark back for buying his kids’ Christmas gifts…[
Lol!

You can already be a flight instructor after 65. Give back and feel good about it. I’m sure they would be happy to have you.

This IS about the right to work. This IS about aviation safety. This IS about fighting unions' when they lobby against their own dues paying members. This IS about fighting disinformation. And this IS about our concerns about the loss of experience on the flight decks.

Go be a CFI
They aren’t lobbying against the MAJORITY of their dues paying members. Feel free to turn in your card at any time and pay the maintenance fee for the incredible contract you work under. You had your time and when you signed up it was 60 and you knew that then, yet you continued.
Anyone that has sat on enough Jumpseats watching the 60+ knows that experience matters up to a point. The ability to use short term recall and multitask is highly degraded. If it was about aviation safety you’d take that wealth of knowledge and teach someone in a piston single where only the two of you are at risk, not my family in the back of a jet.
The day we take a family member’s keys is a tough day but we know it has to be done. Driving is not a right it’s a privilege. Flying a jet with people in the back is not a right either, it’s a privilege. You have a he right to work doing something else.
