The Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act lets pilots fly until they reach 65, provided they pass medical tests taken twice a year. It also mandates that air carriers perform additional proficiency checks on pilots over 60, such as line checks every six months. The pilots must also continue to take training and qualification programs.

Pilot groups who lobbied for the change estimate that 150-210 pilots a month are forced to retire when they reach their 60th birthday. "Each day that passes without raising the retirement age to 65, approximately five our senior, most experienced pilots will be forced to retire," said House Transportation Committee Chairman James Oberstar (D-MN).
