Anybody with direct knowledge, have any info about the latest age 60 rumblings with FAA administrator, Marion Blakely?
The other thread ongoing here:

mentions only legislative action.
I know this movement has been mired in subcommittee after subcommittee, never making it to the house or senate floor, for at least the last five years. After dieing when congress recessed last month, I thought that was it for a while.
However this week, as referenced by an earlier thread here, there were several news reports that Blakely herself, was going to make an announcement soon. The news reports implied, she was going to come out and make a decision on her own. That seemed far fetched to me.
After talking to an ALPA buddy of mine, he is under the impression that a NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) is what Marion will be announcing. Not an actual congressional change in the law, as is implied in the other thread.
Anybody have any CREDIBLE information? Not a pro/con thread. Just information please. Just like the name of this web board "Flight Info".
Thanks folks.
