Don’t know if you were referring to me but I want to make clear that I do not oppose older pilots keeping on flying tout court. In fact those are the ones I learn a lot from on a daily basis.
I love flying and I consider myself blessed to be able to get a good salary out of it. But I am not my job. In 25-30 I look forward to enjoy retirement.
65 sounds like a reasonable cut off age to me. There needs to be a defined rule: it cannot be left to Mr.AME to decide wether you can continue past 65.
