Raising the age sounds fair if strict medical checks stay in the cockpit; safety first, tenure second.

If this bill flies, so will the risk to passengers. Let's prioritize lives over logs in the cockpit.

If they can pass the medical exam, they deserve to soar. Age discrimination grounded this bill before, let's clear the runway.

Pushing pilots past 65 is like asking grandma to run a marathon—experience is golden, but so is a safe flight home.

Let pilots fly longer if they're fit—but someone’s got to draw the line and keep the skies safe.

Raising the pilot retirement age? Great, now we just need a bill for coder nap breaks. Safety should never be a relic of age, but a standard of care.
