It's a whole load of B.S. that age 65 came about due to any thing other than greed. It's amazing that this law just "popped" up over a weekend. It's the greed of the companies and the greed of those old fart captains sitting in my seat. I think this just goes to show that age 65 was too much -- law should be repealed and age 60 should return as the norm.
Yep, age 65 passed both houses of the U.S. Congress without a single vote against. Not one. And, it passed during the week and was signed into law on a Thursday, not on the weekend.

Looks like all the whiners did nothing but complain in this case...

If there was any real opposition you would think they would have gotten at least one vote against. But they didn't.
