I wonder how close to 55 you are ACMS and do you have young children or were you fortunate to have children when you were young. This increasing the age limit has been around for a very long time this is not so new and some people joined thinking that it would mean they would have a longer career than they would have otherwise and therefore give them more time to make up the money they missed out on by not being A scalers I wonder what your decision will be as you approach age 55. You have no idea what personal reasons have been involved with the decision for some of these guys to choose to continue flying and maybe they just don't want to give up as they still enjoy their job.
