Age 67 legislation reintroduced

I wouldn't lower myself to that....haha. Like anyone would remember me. I was the sterotypical "who was that guy" on the way out. No cake. No water cannon. No fuss. No muss. Just walked away at 60 and went on to other things.

It appears IcAO has said “not now, maybe later” to age 67. Not sure what that does to Nehls bill in congress now.
ICAO governing body simply stated that it would need more data from participanting countries, and the general secretariat was against any age change. There wasn’t a formal process to start data collection to raise the age like there was when the process started in 2003. Also, a specific trade association was able to pursade secretary Duffy to remove the US co-signing signature on IATA working paper in favor of age 67. That was a huge win as the US officially did not support age 67 and or any data collection in regard to changing the retirement age. Also we don’t have Jeff Anderson the US ICAO ambassador nominee in his position yet, and he is a known LEPF contributor and was nominated for the position specifically by Troy Nehls. Also, keep in mind once Jeff Anderson is confirmed he will report to the state department and Marco Rubio and he will have to support the stance of the administration and not his personnel ties to LEPF and EPAS.

As far as the bill that Troy Nehls is supposed to introduce to the house once the government re-convenes after the shutdown will be dead on arrival. It will need 60 votes in the house and senate which it won’t get. We think that Troy wanted to introduce another bill to put pressure on ICAO for the general assembly, and this the third time that a stand alone has been introduced to raise the retirement age with the bill going nowhere in congress. If the Republicans can hold both the house and the senate next election cycle that would a huge problem as the next FAA Re-Authorization bill will start getting debated in both the house and senate in 2027 into 2028. Looks like Terry and Troy Nehls will have to live on to fight another day to raise the age.

Keep the faith and please send more money!
