And we blame P2F?

Good morning. I respect all the personal situation and I am pretty sure that it is easy to find someone (maybe me included) that need to fly professionally after 65 due to many reasons.
Generally speaking, I come from a civlized european country where people once used to have mandatory retirement at 60 but normally could get pension at 56. Thanks to the rise of mandatory retirement at 65 and teh rise of pension at 61 but ONLY for the new generations we had a lot of old fart retiring from a big airline at 56 and then goign to fly in the smaller airline till 65; these smart asses just offered their services at 2/3 of the normal retribution for captains because they had also the pension, often tax free because their residence was moved in Malta. I lost my job thanks to them, and with me other three captains who did not have pension and needed the full payment as per contract.
So I understand but for me 65 is more than enough and should be kept mandatory.
Kind regards.
