But can you guarantee that the TRE is going to have the balls to say “actually, mate - you’re past it”. If not, the system is flawed. Just like now, we have weak captains that continue in the LHS because “they’re alright” or, I presume, that’s easier than the alternative. If the retirement age goes, then I would favour a relocation to the RHS for those over 65.
Personally, I can’t wait for retirement. So yes, I am at total odds as to why anyone would wish to continue into their late 60s.
