As baseball player Yogi Berra supposedly said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.”
The three US Airways pilots who filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit asking for exemptions from the FAA’s age 60 mandatory retirement rule are back where they started.

In their petition, the three pilots–Lewis Tetlow III, Richard Morgan and Joseph LoVecchio– asked the court to order the FAA to act by April 30 on their individual requests to fly beyond their 60th birthdays while the agency works to amend the mandatory retirement to age 65 to comply with international standards.
