A U.S. House of Representatives committee on Wednesday narrowly voted to raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65.
Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted 32 to 31 for the pilot age amendment to a proposed five-year bill to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the next five years.
The Regional Airline Association praised the pilot age hike. Earlier, the association said 324 airports have lost, on average, a third of their air service, including 14 small airports that have lost all service, with more than 400 airplanes parked due to a lack of pilots. ALPA called the proposal a "politically driven choice that betrays a fundamental understanding of airline industry operations, the pilot profession, and safety."
