In Australia, pilots won a case against mandatory retirement at any age, under age discrimination legislation. Pilots may keep their positions as long as they can pass the medical and their sim checks. I flew with guys over 65 in Ansett - which doesn't exist now (financial failure after Sep 11), but it was a major airline with 13,000 employees, and about 1000+ pilots.
