I read ALPA is against it, but the FAA is going ahead with the NPRM

This is correct.The main motivation behind this is lobbying from the
low cost carriers, or should I say low wage carriers, that dont have a
benifits package.So its not that the guys WANT to fly a few more
years, its that they cant afford to retire.
