Change it to read self certifying of fitness, or make airline pilots exempt PERIOD. Not just for FAA mandate retirement age.
Most of the people don't know what makes their Aplan possible. As soon as they find out the wording in IRC 415, support moving age 60 dries up pretty rapidly, especially when the cash value of their annuities are explained to them.
Sadly if you have ever been to a domicile meeting for your union, you realize how poorly informed many airline pilots really are, especially about important things like how their contract works, what the duty times really are, etc...
Gov, the IPA does NOT support the lifting of the AGE 60 ban. The only IPA that is actually a UNION is the Independant Pilots Association that represents the UPS pilots. They do NOT favor raising the age 60 retirement. Your little trade group is not a union and don't claim it to be.
