Piltdown Man, thank you for your comment. The law hasn't changed. The retirement age of 60 was based on company agreeements both in LH and LTU. Sadly the same people who won the eCJ case were enforcing an arbitrary maximum age for entering the company both as ab initio and as ready entry pilot for decades. This fact, that the same people always sit on the winning side is the problem.
The only advantage I see for myself is when I will reach 60 as a F/O in only a few years the amount I will have to pay back will be smaller than a captains amount. Until then I look forward to the senior guys - who have been senior for the last 20 years - continuing to treat us like dirt on the flight deck.
Altruism is not en vogue these days.
