FlipFlopFlyer - You wouldn't happen to be the joker who wrote the editorial for 'Flight' this week would you? (24-30 Sept).

As far as the UK is concerned you are way, way off. The retirement age WAS 65 and was, only a few years ago, changed quite arbitrarily to 60, so yes I agree with you, we knew the rules when we started and now we would like those same rules to apply.

The fact that anyone should have to go to court anywhere is quite wrong. The age should be 65, subject to health and performance, as there is NO evidence, (despite what the editorial in 'Flight' says), to suggest that there is any increased risk to anyone.
