Fox Hunter,

Stop thinking of just yourself. There are over 12,000 pilots in the U.S. out of work at the present time and you want to raise the retirement age! For what reason besides your own selfish gain would you want to raise the age?
Yes it is a discrimatory ruling but don't forget discrimantion is a good thing. After all we do have to get two medicals a year as well as do two check rides for our jobs. Is that discrimatory as well? You bet ya and it is a good thing. It keeps all the riff raft out of the cockpits.
You had your fun now make way for some other pilots and don't try to change the rules midstream, you knew the rules when you joined.
