Why not fly over 60?
Many of us started our trade/profession in our late 30's, and still love the job, well most of the time anyhow.
And having sacrificed a full-pension based on one career, and also shelled out substantial dosh to re-train, we also need time to recoup our losses.
Working to the standard national retirement age enjoyed by the general population seems reasonable, subject to health, performance, etc.
Let's just get the non-Euro French lobby into line. They really are the most selfish of people at times!
