The possibility of retiring at 65 is not an obligation to do so! The only binding rule is that you cannot work as an airline pilot after 65.
That was what the PRO65 guys thought when they lobbied in Portugal. However the law came out as an obligation to work until 65 (well, you can retire before but they take a big chunk of your retirement pay away), because the social security saw a nice oportunity to squeeze some rich pilots.
And that is what is going to happen in France if they don't fight back. I see a lot of complaints from our british colleagues, but the rest of the world is not to blame if you let your T & C's go down the toilet.
