Retire at 60

Maybe I should have started another thread for this subject but it is extremely relevant to where I began.
Abu Dhabi Aviation, in their wisdom, have decided that their pilots will retire at 60 years old.
This came as some surprise to many who were approaching this age as the UAE allows pilots over that age to continue in two pilot operations until they are 63.
Suddenly, at Aerogulf, in Dubai, I am never going to have a recruitment problem. Thank you very much Abu Dhabi.
I wish you had told me this two months ago because these people with between eleven and twenty thousand hours (mainly on type and offshore) are a Godsend to a small company..
