Tell me again why should I say YES to age 60?
ALFRED's hit the nail on the head. How many of those arguing against retirement at 60 will be saying the same thing when they're approaching 55? Certainly not those on B-scales (like me!) when they realise their provident funds won't fund a comfortable retirement at 55. With retirement ages on the increase in other industries worldwide, retirement at 55 is becoming increasingly unrealistic and possibly unsustainable if the company is to continue its expansion.

Busdriver, have you stopped to consider that the biggest drag on YOUR command is the company's ability to train people. With a large number of trainers rapidly approaching 55 (no, I'm not one of them!), YOUR progression will be delayed if age 60 doesn't go through. With a new aircraft order on the horizon, CX is on the brink of an expansion - perhaps it might be in YOUR interests that age 60 does go through.
