73jock,back to the subject..JAR-FCL(as june1-2000)1.060 says in essence that one can fly in the EU as a pilot in air transport Operations from 60-65 birthday(only one 60 codger in the cockpit).
Several countries have made an EXEMPTION to this rule,but several airlines have 'forced ' their guys to go to 65 for the pension...
Cheers
