Default Age 60 Rule is now Age 65 Rule

I'm not a huge fan of Dubya, but I gotta give him credit... Today he
signed the bill raising the mandatory retirement age to 65 for pilots.
The "Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act" is now a law. Long
overdue IMHO - interestingly enough ALPA changed their stance on the
issue and only the APA still supported the Age 60 rule.
