It will happen, IMO.The only unknown is when.

First comes age 67.. Very soon, IMO.

Then the carve-out: no upper limit for capable states.

And way down the road, no upper limit at all.

I was saying I don’t understand most of your posts… on any topic. Not just this one. I just thought English might be your second language. The way you speak is like a riddle every time.

still won’t get 60 votes in the Senate.

Tammy Duckworth is on record saying this isn’t about safety, it’s all about ICAO. Let’s see what happens this week, if ICAO adopts 67, I don’t think the Senate will be an issue.

Copying this in from another thread, but I did check the website…..you can donate up to $99,999.00 through the portal. Apple Pay or credit card. Don’t forget to click the “I'd like to help cover the transaction fees of $2,986.89 for my donation” box. It’s all just super easy !!

No upper limit at all? Can you imagine? Holy sh*t. Who pushes the wheelchair to the hotel shuttle?

Noted. The topic is 65+ My recommendation remains no. If it happens, it happens. Angry is a reaction angry people use when things go wrong for them. Lots of angry people on the planet. Best not to be one of them.

There's no proposal this week for ICAO to adopt 67. The WP has lots of conditions and research required before they say it's safe to do so.

Ummm not according to EPAS/LEPF. This thing is imminent. They are like the old charity ads. “Just $1,000 minimum. That’s less than a cup of coffee a day. You can see William continue to fly the 787 from the left seat for at least 2 more years. Send money now.”
Details and timelines hurt fund raising. They stick to the script.
