Just curious. Is there anyone who has joined CX in the last twenty years who can put their hand on their heart and honestly say they had no idea that retirement at 65 was already on the way and likely to be implemented well within their working life, despite a contract that said 55? The move to get the age back to the original 65 in the UK has been around a lot longer than that, (late seventies), but by 1989 there was already a world wide but fragmented move to have 65 as the normal retiring age. From my own experience and what I have seen I doubt if many pilots who are over 55 now will go much beyond 60 anyway.
