Now that the bill has been signed, the age provision only applies to NetJets, and the company has already announced its intentions to send notification to FAA, the only thing left to do is start a prediction pool on what date the company sends the notification.

Can someone point to where it says this applies to 91k (let alone regular 135)? Everywhere I am reading (and I could not find it in the bill, although I am only 1 cup of coffee in), I am seeing where it RAISES the MANDATORY retirement age (not implements a retirement age) from 65-70 for "large, unscheduled charter operators". I am not quite sure what a "Large, unscheduled Charter operator" is (Maybe ACMI?), but since Net Jets etc. currently have NO retirement age, it clearly is not the "Large unscheduled charter operator" that they are targeting in this bill. Here is my reference:

This is a done deal people. We may have all stayed at a Holiday Inn Express this week but the lawyers have fancier degrees than we do and birthed this particular baby. It’s all over but the shouting. Of which there appears to be plenty.
Now go enjoy your Christmas while some of us try to scrounge food on the road tonight and tomorrow…

I’m really curious if this will effect EJM and if they have enough 135 operations to meet the definition.

I emailed AIN and quoted the bill where they have interpreted it incorrectly. There was never an age 65 or any retirement age for 135….until yesterday. Now it’s 70 yers old. They did not raise a retirement age. They created a new one for 135/91k with large operations. AIN had this one wrong.

I'd have to go read the provision again (please...NO) but I think I recall 75,000 Part 135 operations per year. There is NO WAY EJM meets that threshold and it would be a stretch for Flex.
Yes, that was on purpose...

I have a friend who went back to USAirways in 2007 when we were recalled. I opted to stay at NetJets. He's now an A320 PIC and making good money living in base. He told me if they made it 67 he'd stick around till then because the job is pretty easy right now and he's putting away a lot of $$$ for retirement and all the "toys" he has.
