Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act
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.
This bill, known as the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act, proposes to change the retirement age for pilots working in commercial aviation. Specifically, it aims to raise the age at which pilots must retire. This change would impact commercial pilots across the country, allowing them to work longer if they meet the new criteria.
The bill would affect pilots in the commercial aviation industry, potentially allowing them to extend their careers if they are experienced and meet certain qualifications. It does not directly impact the general public but could affect airline operations and employment within the industry.
Currently, the bill is in its early stages. It was introduced and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on April 30, 2026. As of now, the committee will review the bill and may schedule further discussions or votes. This is an ongoing process, and updates will follow as the bill progresses through the legislative stages.
