Considering that most agree that this is going to pass, how does ALPA and the company deal with the scheduling problems that it creates if the rest of the world doesn’t immediately follow? Do we pass a LOA saying that pilots are to be removed from a pairing without pay if they can’t legally fly it?

1) It's unlikely that ICAO doesn't immediately raise retirement age, especially since IATA has already been lobbying ICAO to do so. From what I've seen, ICAO's been planning to raise the age since at least 2019; they just need an impetus to do so. I'd say the US raising retirement age is the exact event that will make ti so.
2) Why would we pass an LOA?

Because every time someone confidently declares ICAO will do whatever the U.S. wants, it's never rooted in any sort of fact or precedent. In fact, when they raised theirs to 65, the U.S. actually opposed it. History has shown that they won't make such a change without some extensive study on the topic, unlike our own dysfunctional government. So I'm just wondering where you get these facts from.

Couldn’t agree more!
A large percentage of ‘older’ pilots that transition to a different aircraft or upgrade, have difficulty in doing so.
The cognitive impairments of an older person is definitely noticeable to all sim instructors.
( ask your buddies in the training center )
Age 65 is a great time to hang up this career.

It’s all clear to me now! They want age 67 just about the time we start SFO-Manila service. I can see how having multiple families to support could get expensive, especially when (not if) the gal pals want to import their whole clan to the states…..
