Bill Summary
A bill to amend title 49, United States Code, to raise the retirement age for pilots engaged in commercial aviation operations, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the "Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act," proposes to amend federal law to raise the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 years old. The bill would allow experienced pilots to continue flying in covered operations (commercial flights under Part 121 regulations) until age 67, with some exceptions for flights in airspace where such operations are prohibited. The bill also includes provisions to protect employers from liability for actions taken in compliance with the age increase and requires any necessary amendments to labor agreements or benefit plans to be made through agreements between the airlines and the pilots' bargaining representatives.
