Looks like the feds are getting in step with ICAO and raising pilot

And I believe the Airline Pilot's Association is still fighting
against it. There are a lot more members who are 30,40 that want the
left seat than 59 year old members who want to keep it. I doubt it
will effect many pilots anyway. There are still a lot of guys taking
early retirement at 58 for the money.
