Looks like age 70 is a real possibility in the U.S. There was no credible political opposition to age 65, it passed both houses of Congress unanimously. A few folks whined here and elsewhere but when it came down to it, they couldn't muster a single vote in opposition.

I'm told some FedEx ALPA pilots have already lobbied the new administration for increasing or eliminating the retirement age. Don't know if FE's will be grandfathered this time.

I'd like to retire someday, but after looking at my 201K...
