The bicameral package also features a new requirement for the FAA to hire and train up to 3,000 new air traffic controllers, a provision to increase the cockpit voice recorder length from two to 25 hours and improve airway safety, and boosts the time frame individuals can use travel credits to at least five years.
It also does not boost the pilot’s retirement age from 65 to 67, which had been discussed, or include a provision that would have allowed members of Congress, judges and Cabinet members to receive security escorts if they are facing credible threats. Cruz was a leading proponent of that item.
