I'm also not one to blow sunshine and hopium up others' poop shoots. I know I'm cynical, but I'll be happy to post that I'm wrong when the dust settles, should this go differently. What will be your response if this goes down the way I've posted?
On a side note, I can see you don't know what happens when the language of House and Senate versions of a bill are different.

I'm not in the know; I've just gone through this crapshow before and learned from it.

If you knew they had to reconcile, why did you bother making a statement about it making it through the Senate? You know in the end the Senate version doesn't matter.

These kinds of bills are how you feather your reelection bed by getting donations from the companies who get $$$$$ from the feds for work performed.

Yes and then that same committee and those same committee members R (32 members) and D (31 members) voted unanimously for the final bill which included age 67:
”The House committee approved the roughly 800-page FAA bill by a unanimous 63-0 vote. It is expected to be taken up by the entire House next month.”

Meanwhile in the Senate Commerce Committee.....
A bipartisan group of Senate Commerce Committee Members have worked with stakeholders, constituents, airports, and community leaders to draft amendments to safely address the pilot shortage. Yet, Committee Majority Leadership won’t even allow consideration of these amendments because the Airline Pilot Association (ALPA) and the Senate Majority Leader (D) oppose them. Today, RAA President and CEO Faye Malarkey Black sent a letter to lawmakers urging consideration of these important amendments.

Back the PAC baby !!!

We can speculate on why ALPA doesn’t want to solve the pilot shortage. However, Senate leaders must ensure a labor union representing

The solution is simple.....only allow those who are 65 and 66 to work at the regionals as DEC's. Might solve the pilot shortage issue, but it will NOT stagnate others.

Well. Yes. The committee voted unanimously for the full FAA Reauthorization Bill. That bill includes the age 67 amendment. The Democrats lost the vote on the age 67 amendment. Meaning it made it onto the final House Bill. The battle was lost. Too bad the Republicans have the majority in the House.
BOTH Chambers have to pass legislation before being sent to a President (who can potentially veto bills).
It doesn’t matter wtf a majority party in the House includes. The reality is the other side, in the Senate, has a majority and (as of now) doesn’t seem to care about doing much with 67.
Not saying things can’t/won’t change but you seem to think this is a 1000% a done deal because ONE Chamber has it included. That’s not even close to how this works.
