Continue pushing to raise the pilot age and urge the Senate to codify the proposal.

Congressman Troy E. Nehls highlighted his ongoing push to raise the pilot age and said the Senate must act to codify his proposal.

Nehls commits to keep advocating for raising the pilot age and to press for Senate action to make it law.

My legislation, the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act, would modestly raise the mandated retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67... I’m calling on Congress to do the right thing and pass my bill... to permanently codify my proposal into law.

Nehls reiterates his push to raise the commercial pilot retirement age from 65 to 67 and asks Congress to pass and codify the bill.

Nehls' official House page says he highlighted H.R. 5523, the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act of 2025, to raise the commercial pilot retirement age from 65 to 67. He wrote that the 2023 House-passed FAA reauthorization included his proposal but the Senate removed it, and he called for Congress to pass the bill to codify the proposal.

Recent Nehls-specific evidence before the May 30-June 1 lookback shows ongoing advocacy and a public codification push, but not enactment.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Troy E. Nehls as sponsor of H.R. 5523, introduced September 19, 2025. The bill text would allow pilots in covered operations to serve until age 67, but the latest action is referral to the House Aviation Subcommittee and the tracker status remains Introduced.

Official bill records confirm serious legislative action by Nehls, but no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment is shown, so the commitment remains unresolved beyond partial advocacy.
