Probably not...the legislators would likely not make that basic a mistake.
The guys who had already turned 60 can go get another job if they like...but there is no legal basis for re-instating them to their old position of senior captain at the expense of every airline pilot in the US.
Those guys knew they were done at age 60 when they took the job in the first place.
Besides, all the executive branch has to do is stall the legal process for four years...that's easy enough.
