Foreign pilots over 60 fly into USA,but American pilots have to wait two years until FAA changes rule. Until then thousands of American pilots are discriminated against. At least advise FAA to give waivers until is changed.

Fast track this bill! Thousands are turning 60 this year. These are pilots who have lost their retirements.

I HAVE JUST TURNED 59 YEARS OLD. I HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR OVER 30 YEARS,BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN AN AIRLINE PILOT SINCE 50 YRS OLD.I FLY FOR A LARGE REGIONAL CARRIER. I JUST COMPLETED CAPTAIN UPGRADE IN A 76 PASSENGER DCH-8/400 . I HAD NO MORE TROUBLE THAN THE YOUNGER PILOTS COMPLETING THE TRAINING. GOOD THING I'M NOT 60 I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN AS FAST AS I DID

Kill this bill. It is a safety issue, pure and simple.
