That's the one I was referring to. The House version, with the Age 60 verbage, has already passed.

Could happen. Won't happen that quickly though, it's summer break time and Congress reconvenes after Labor day.
There is verbiage modifying the Age 60 rule in both the House and Senate's version of the FAA Authorization bills
S.1300 and HR 2881 respectively.
Senate version would be applied 30 days after being signed into law and doesn't consider retroactivity at all.
HR version is day of....and says must be acting as a SO (assuming over 60 when the bill is passed) to come back to a window seat {can also come back as a newhire with a new seniority #}

So I guess it just depends on which rumor you are pulling for...

The not so credible rumor I'm pushing is that anyone caught on the property after their 60th birthday will be duct taped, placed in a box, sent USPS parcel post to Kotzebue, Alaska, then placed on an ice flow and sent adrift into the artic sea...thereby allowing the pilot race to continue unpolluted without snoring pilots with nose hairs extendeding down to their soiled ties who insist on repeating over and over all their reasons their being there is "the right thing to do..."

Take a look at the S/O training letter - I'm not sure there's enough duct tape or boxes on property to pack 'em all up. Seriously, do they all get together at the senior citizens club and talk each other into sticking around??
