The vehicle to get Age 67 through was the reauthorization bill. There is no way in this universe it will advance a stand-alone bill. Age 67 is dead.

Now the age 67'ers want article 8 charges brought against their own union for lobbying for what the actual majority of pilots want, not raising the retirement age. Show up to your upcoming local council meetings to oppose this nonsense.

Not making an argument either way but:
How was it in 2005 (when the us was still 60) that the foreign carriers could operate into the US at 60-65?
That was the MAJOR argument for going from 60 to 65 in the US was that all the foreign carriers can do it, just not the US based ones.
Are you saying that foreign rules override US rules, and all US rules are just a lower subset of aviation? Just curious how that works.....

The United States mandated 121 pilots had to retire upon reaching their 60th birthday. However, since ICAO rules were 65 years old, British Airways pilots could fly into US airspace unrestricted.

I wish that was the case, but I’m afraid it’s not. Got this email today. These people never sleep so neither can we.

If Age 67 was pulled from the original reauthorization bill introduced yesterday, meaning widespread support for the measure collapsed...an amendment is going to fail for the same reason Age 67 was pulled form the bill to begin with.

ICAO sets the international rules. ICAO says Age 65, then all member states have to abide. Ever notice how all airports worldwide have similar markings? You can thank ICAO for that.

However, I am against 67. Harmful to me, harmful to the industry, and harmful to safety.
