I'm really superised Campbell (R-CO) voted yea. He has a bad rep from what i have heard for attacking aviation and being againt most aviation related stuff. I'm not superised at Allards's(R-CO) vote though. Theres lots of pilots up in his district.

If they want to keep it at 60 than they need to lower the age for collecting social security. You guys keep forgetting they keep raising the age for the baby boomers, there is talk of raising social security to age 68. thats an awful long time to be on the side lines.
