I would say the fear held by most AC pilots, is that if the rule changes, very soon they will be forced to fly beyond 60, by virtue of the fact that the airline will structure the pay grades accordingly. Take for example the situation faced in BA. Origionally BA pilots had to retire at 55 though the licencing authority allowed them to fly until 60. Now with a big hole in the pension fund, they are being forced (by the Company) to fly until 60.
Very often what starts out as an option quickly becomes compulsory.
Just my 5 cents worth!
