ROTFLMAO!
You claim that your 'religion' is against drinking, but you sit there and lie about me nonstop. What's your 'religion' say about you being a compulsive liar?

 

It should be obvious that I'm speculating, but I did pay careful attention when this happened in 2007 and learned a few things.

IF age 67 passes, then it will likely create a big mess for US majors (with current language). ICAO can help mitigate that by raising their MAX age to 67.

That does NOT require that the Euros let their pilots fly to 67.

If they choose to do that, it does NOT obligate European pilots to actually fly to age 67... they are not indentured servants, at least not more so than any other socialists. They can still retire under whatever rules they already have, unless those are changed by their own governments, regulators, or employers.

All ICAO can do is increase the max age up to which member states can authorize for their own international crews.

The legacies will be dealing with the fallout. The legacies do not want this to happen. I'd speculate that if it DOES happen, the executive branch will not petulantly punish the legacies for something they didn't want in the first place. I'd speculate that .gov will ask ICAO to raise the age limit to solve the hot mess for US majors.

 

Passed the House…

Anyone now about how many will be eligible to return if/when it is passed? How many numbers backwards can we anticipate to fall?

 

0 because they can’t start at their seniority. They would have to start at the bottom of the list.

 

Exactly. We have recent precedent to support no flow backs. It’ll probably be just like that. The only thing this will alleviate is the unused sick banks of 63 year olds.

 

Every other 64.5 yr old I have ever flown with has been deaf, burnt out, and/or bordering an alzheimers diagnosis. You might be cognitively great but you won the lottery. Go spend your money and enjoy life. If we let this new completely arbitrary age surpass the old arbitrary age we are opening a can of worms with our medicals and scrutiny. There's this whole big thing outside of flying that is pretty awesome.

 

Which precedent are you referring to?

 

When the age went from 60-65. I’m not aware that anyone who retired before that law changed was allowed to come back at their seniority.
