I actually find it quite sad in a sense that there are individuals who end up at retirement age having developed no interests, no plans, and no desires outside of airline flying.
Dutchroll, Mohikan and others, it is none of your business whether pilots want to work until whatever age for whatever reason they chose.They have the legal right to do so whether you like it or not. In years past, there were both industrial and legislated limits on an airline pilot continuing to fly past certain ages in Australia. Australia has moved on for better or worse. Part of that moving on is that we have a lot more female pilots, pilots can fly after having by-pass heart operations, paternity and maternity leave,carbon tax, plain paper cigarette packs, random alcohol and drug testing, GPS, the demise of 87 octane avgas,
You are too transparent like others before you, you want the old fogies to move on so that you can have their jobs. When you get to their age you'll probably be a strong defender of your right to continue.
