My point is that part of the pilot group didn't like the rules of the game so they fought to get the rules changed - great, congrats; but understand that it's hypocritical to turn around and deride the rest of the pilot group for not liking the rules of the game.

Sorry, Todd, but it wasn't the lobbying of any part of the pilot group that changed the rules. It was Congressional response to the ICAO age change that had already been instituted in several other nations.
Let me ask you this: Is it fair that a foreign pilot over Age 60 could exercise their licenses in US airspace while an American pilot could not?

If they raise the age to 70, it's only fair that those that were forced into retirement from 2002-2007 should be able to come back (if they can hold a medical) and go right back to their place on the list.
See if the 64 year olds want to slide backwards for the next five years...
