Wait, so now if medical standards get more strict, it's ALPA's fault for opposing the change? 🤣

If you thought the initial updates from LEPF/EPAS were out of touch, you’ll love this one. A complete fabrication of wishful thinking. ICAO doesn’t want an age change, the secretariat spoke against it. They will not make a move without data and standards. But let’s make 2 pages or word salad to inspired the 64 year olds and keep the $ coming.
this is delusional

Not even the goofballs at LEPF could spin that wp349 was successful or that there was a path forward for them in the next three years.
These EPAS guys are orbiting in the bozosphere.

“Just send more money we are almost there, we need the money to travel to important meetings”.
Nevermind that all these EPAS people are airline pilots who have plenty of time off already and can already travel for free.
A look at the books would be fascinating.

Why don't we just raise the age by 1 month a year for the next 36 years? Kind of balance the different needs. You know, compromise?

But it would almost certainly be illegal under equal protections. Once it's determined that 67 is safe, you cannot allow some folks (kids) to go to 67 but cap others at 65.083. Federal law cannot supersede equal protections (constitution).
Might be a work around, ie claim that for safety reasons you want to slow roll the age increase and monitor the results carefully over time. It would be challenged but might hold up OK.

As I've said that's my preference (maybe a bit faster than 36 years though).

Anyone can argue that any age limit violates equal protection, but in reality they exist and courts have held they are valid.
