ICAO is not changing anything.

Most of all, generationally, GenX, millenials, and GenZ don't want to work more, they want to work less. As the bo0mers age out, this issue will depart with them, and we can focus on the threat of single-pilot or whatever other nonsense is next.

Sure, the old guys will gripe and moan, and their lobbying firm will continue to string them along and collect more money, but there is no chance of a stand-alone bill. It's not in Congress's top 2500 issues to address, nor will it ever be. It looks like the whole issue was driven by one corrupt Congressman whose brother is a Delta 350 captain.

It truly is a shame the way many of these Age 67 advocates have classlessly comported themselves, and how they have shown their true colors. Their selfish, irrational, and hypocritical conduct is their legacy.

When is Nehls retiring anyway? Maybe there should be a nice delegation from all major airlines at his fini flight to wish him a happy f*cking retirement when the time comes. Although maybe he would actually enjoy the attention.

Yet, instead of enjoying the few good years of decent QOL their golden years will bring before it all comes crashing down, they opt for the money grab instead. It's bloody depressing, really.
