Bill may be signed, however you do not operate under a Bill. You operate under the FARs, they are not changed (yet.......)

Actually, the FARs are changed. The bill specifically states that "On and after the date of enactment of this section, section 121.383(c) of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, shall cease to be effective." It's a done deal.Bill may be signed, however you do not operate under a Bill. You operate under the FARs, they are not changed (yet.......)

Sigh... This argument has been made countless times before, and it just demonstrates that too many pilots are apparently incapable of doing simple math. Example:I have heard pilots rumble about how the age 65 rule is going to screw over the Jr pilots. Well, Immediately it is not going to mean a fast moving seniority list. But you need to think of the long term. Lets say you compare the prospects of pay for a 5 year quick seniority list now, verses your additional 5 years of pay at your highest play. Look at that. Oh and think of what you would be doing from age 60 to 65 if you were not flying your job you have now......airline pilot. I know a few guys who ended up flying semi-trucks after they turned 60 because they had nothing else......healthcare and needed a bump to their retirement. So think about it.
Sigh... This argument has been made countless times before, and it just demonstrates that too many pilots are apparently incapable of doing simple math. Example:
Age 60 retirement: 30-year old legacy FO upgrades and has 30 years in the left seat at Captain payrates
Age 65 retirement: 30-year old legacy FO has his upgrade delayed by 5 years because of age change, now upgrades at age 35, and gets...30 years in the left seat at Captain rates!!!!!
This change does not give you five additional years in the left seat. It gives you 5 additional years at the regionals or 5 additional years in the right seat. If you decide to still retire at age 60, then you'll have 5 fewer years in the left seat!
