Shoey the continuance to age 65, as part of a multi-crew cockpit, is dependent on the other member being under 60 yrs of age.
Just to be clear, this was not part of the rule in the US.

Won't be long until we have two 64-year-olds shooting a night ILS to a crosswind landing like the Lufthansa video. Now don't worry - I know you studs are just as good as you were in the old days - but think about the worst pilot you ever saw, the one who barely squeaked through his checkrides. Now imagine him at 64, and sitting next to his clone in the right seat. Dark and stormy night. Your kids and wife in the back. And not one study on the effect on safety of the rule change.....
