A320 Baby...the point is...when the retirement age was increased to 65 VAA conveniently forgot to raise the maximum age for a type conversion course from 57 to 62 (3 years remaining). This gave the company an 8 year window to get rid of senior B744 pilots should the need arise.
An anomaly which I understand was fixed several years ago when the 787 introduction was under way. It's no longer an issue.
