To limit the age restrictions imposed by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration for the issuance or renewal of certain airman certificates, and for other purposes.

This bill would have prohibited the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from denying or refusing to renew commercial pilot licenses based solely on age for individuals 65 years old or younger. It also would have prevented airlines from firing or refusing to hire pilots for age-related reasons within that same age range.

The practical impact for citizens would have been the ability for experienced commercial pilots to continue their careers for five additional years beyond the then-mandatory retirement age of 60. While this specific 2003 bill did not become law, its core objective was eventually realized in 2007 when federal law was changed to raise the mandatory retirement age for pilots to 65.
