I agree that if RA60 comes in without safeguards and/or a slowdown occurs, things will look bleak for SOs.
How is that? A low-time 20 something guy with 35+ years available to him has a bleak outlook? They got in young with little experience and good on them but if they have to wait an extra couple of years to get a command...too bad!
I'm sick of this RA60 concern. 60 or even 65 should be the retirement age even if I and others don't want to proceed beyond 55. Forced to retire when you are healthy and capable is wrong and the courts have agreed with me so accept the new limits and get on with life!
