Re: Stop The Law Project To Let Pilot Work Until 65 Years Old
I agree with sky9's facts (but not with his conclusions):
Everyone who took on the profession of pilot knew that it will end with 60 (or even 55). If you haven't have your money piled up until 60, then you did something wrong, spent too much or saved too little. It was part of your "life contract" that you would go to pension. You can't change the rule afterwards.
I'm 40 years old and I am actively planning my financial future. I have to find a way to retire at 60, because there is no other way. You have to base your planning on given facts, you can't hope on future luck.
I agree that a lot of guys stay in good health with 60, but I know at least as much pilots who really are burnt out, not at their top anymore. Flight deck technology change also contributes to the attrition rate.
