Amigos,
In my country,that is Brazil,you can fly,domestic, for as long as your medical is valid...No matter how old you are..I know guys well past 60 that are still flying..I guess the argument of fitness is a bit falacious..It all comes down to economics,be the airlines willing to layoff the costly "older"guys or the newcomers willing to go LHS.Anyway,I personally think that it should be a personal decision and not regulations.Myself,I wouldn't like to,but if needed, I want to able to choose to keep flying or not.
I just have my opinion,that,provided one has the means to a good and reasonably confortable life out of the cockpit,there's a lot to enjoy out there.(sailing,riding bikes,grandchildren,friends,etc..)Don't get me wrong,
I'm pro choice in this matter,and mine,will be to go home,God permit ,for when I turn 60 I'll have almost 40 years in this business.
