Lindsey Graham: Raise Mandatory Commercial Pilot Retirement Age to 67   

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Monday he is proposing legislation that would raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65.

Graham's proposal would require pilots over the age of 65 to maintain a first-class medical certification, which must be renewed every six months.

The proposal comes as many regional airlines have said they face significant pilot shortages.
