Surely most of us are in this game because we enjoy it - I speak to a lot of young airline-pilot hopefuls, and don't hear many saying "I want to become an airline pilot because of the money and so that I can retire early", most do it because they want to fly. Surely that doesn't change at 60?
I've known a few people flying into their 80s, by that point they usually had to pay for it themselves, but they still wanted to fly.
Speaking for myself, whilst still well short of 60, I'm in this game so that I can be paid by other people for playing with expensive toys. I can't see my view on that ever changing.
Which is all a bit off-topic anyhow. Back on-topic, surely we should be approaching a stage in time where we should accept that people get retired when either (a) they are old enough and want to, or (b) they can't do the job any more. Society can't afford all these people being retired at 60 (ye gods, some people are still taking early retirement at 55!).
