???

Actually ICAO went to 65 first, the the US followed (congress did it, because the FAA stalled).

Senators don't have any say in this, you need to call your ICAO rep, and your IATA rep.

Trump just appointed a new guy to ICAO.

I'm not throwing the BS flag on your personal experience, so don't try to tell me mine. I do acknowledge I live in a pretty healthy zipcode.

I don't fly a 777 and I do factor circadian into my bidding.

If so, he is not very good at it, Halon was better.

I don’t think you read the campaign. It’s targeted at not confirming the appointment. Which won’t happen.

Will age 67 get voted on in this upcoming ICAO meeting that’s scheduled in a few weeks? Or is it to review the potential of a increased retirement age rollout?

I’ve heard that it may still take a few years before ICAO agrees to raise the age..?
