No. This is not a legislative priority for anyone except for one corrupt Congressmans and his misguided quest to line his brother's pocket.

Look at all the other more pressing, legitimately crucial issues in the world and country. Age 67 was just a flash in the pan, another lunatic fringe's sense of entitlement and victimhood trying to hijack the process. There are lost causes like this that pop up and go away probably once a week comewhere in Congress.

Also, the Age 67 pilots are apparently unwilling to contribute enough to PACs or re-election campaigns to move the needle there, so there is inadequate financial motiviation for legistators to stay interested.

But it is pitiful to see the 67 guys trying to plot to get on 60 Minutes, and into right wing publications. Guys, no one cares. Have some dignity.

According to another thread here, Delta Dave is on LTD.

You can’t make this stuff up.
