Reply from AOPA..

Based upon the new provision in the rule change a pilot has to be 60 or
younger when the new law went into effect (December 13) in order to take
advantage of the new 65th birthday limit. Sorry.

How in the world did *that* slip through. Was someone asleep at the wheel,
or was there an "other side" which wanted to grandfather that 5 year window
of pilots "out" of the cockpit as ATP's?

I'm guessing the retirees didn't want to come back to work.
