The President signed HR 4343. Evidently he decided that one more day of pilots
getting hosed was one day too many.

It's over. The age of our retirement is now 65.

The efficiency of getting it through eventually is breathtaking.
Introduced and passed by the House on Tuesday.
Given to the Senate and passed there on Wednesday.
Signed into law on Thursday.
After years of being sent to committees to sit and die, the final version gets passed in three days.
Amazing.
 
Past in three days with no votes against. My ? is where all the oppostion came from the last few years and/or who just caved when it was time to vote.
 
So the FAA is not required for the implementation of the new age? A pilot who's 60th birthday is tomorrow can continue to fly for 5 more years?

Oh you're right... no influence, but that wasn't my statement. See previous post. I'm sorry which union do you belong to?

actually none of the pension plans, contracts, etc. have been modified so the normal retirement age as defined by these is age 60. you should be able to retire unreduced until these are changed to reflect 65.

no more pbgc complaints now about reducing benefits from age 65..........

Nope. Not true. President will sign HR 4343 on Friday, December 14th.

Andy,

It wasn't passed in three days. APAAD has been working for this legislation for 10 years. Legislation has been introduced many times over many years. This year it was introduced as HB 2881 in the House and S 65 in the Senate. 314 cosponsors were signed on in in the House and 51 cosponsors signed on in the Senate. The stand alone bills never got out of committee. However, the language was included in the FAA Reauthorization Bill and the Senate Transportation Bill. HR 4343 is the culmination of over 10 years of effort by a multitude of pilots to end a rule that was originally imposed for economic not safety reasons.

The three day movement of this issue through the House and Senate to the President was simply the most expeditious procedural method to achieve a desired result that has taken over ten years of concerted effort by thousands of pilots.
