Congress Said To Mull Age 65 Extension to Part 91K/135
A limited extension, believed to have been discussed, would primarily affect NetJets.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee is believed to have considered a possible amendment to its comprehensive FAA reauthorization bill that would extend the age 65 limits on airline pilots to certain Part 91K/135 operations, according to knowledgeable sources that spoke to AIN on condition of anonymity. As originally discussed, such a limit would apply to operations that have 100,000 flights or more a year, affecting primarily NetJets.  

The age 65 rule is believed among the topics discussed during a meeting that is said to have been held either late this spring or in early June between the committee and NetJets executives. NetJets declined to comment on the issue, referring AIN to the committee.
