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 of 2023," aims to amend U.S. federal aviation law to raise the mandatory retirement age for pilots engaged in commercial aviation operations from 65 to 67 years old. The bill allows pilots over the age of 65 to return to service in multi-crew covered operations until age 67, and it prohibits using compliance with the new age standards as a basis for liability or legal relief under employment laws. The bill also requires any changes to labor agreements or benefit plans to be made through agreement between the air carrier and the designated bargaining representative of the pilots. Additionally, the bill maintains the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) authority to set medical standards and examination requirements for pilots, with some exceptions for first-class medical certificates for pilots over 60 years old.
