routetuner - Name calling doesn't really dignify your post, young man.

I am sixty seven and retired, got caught by the '60 and you are out' regime but would have gone to 62 or 63 on the freighter if it had been possible, obviously I was not with CX.

Yes, you probably are fitter than I am now.

My point is that I do not think that anyone who joined civil aviation within the last twenty years can not have known that retirement age 65, from 'heavies', was very much a target being aimed for by many and virtually certain to happen, particularly since the previous reduction from 65 to 60 by the FAA and the CAA was an arbitrary action and not a decision based on either health or safety.
