Bottom line moving up the retirement age again and again hurts everyone in aviation that wants to retire early and enjoy their golden years. Every pilot with good pay and schedules will stay on till forced out leaving only the ****ty jobs to fight for at the bottom. It's already happening all over the world from the US raising 60 to 65. Stagnant job growth has made pilots do incredibly foolish things like paying for type ratings or working for substandard wages. Pilots staying on even when they have the financial means to retire are simply selfish!
