I disagree.
You may be surprised to find how small the number of relics who want to go on to 60 really is.
Noise and numbers rarely have a sensible correlation.The 60 argument is a red herring for the majority of senior guys who left the AOA.
I did not leave the AOA in a fit of pique but only after realising it was like trying to teach a pig to sing...a complete waste of my time and it was only antagonising the pig.
Lets face it anyone who is silly enough to have no money at 55 after 20+ years can always do 5 years with Korean, Asiana, Mandarin etc if they have to, as well as stay living in HK.
I tend to agree that the young bucks will all probably have to go to 60, and why shouldn't they. The average 55 year old in another ten years will be a biological match for a 45 year old of my vintage...apart from a few die hard F/O's!
The trick is for the AOA to re-invent itself and show it has the ear of those who listen. It's not about the money.
