I know we should all have a reasonable pension in place when we retire at 65, however, at the moment we are forced out of employment and won't receive a state pension until much later. In the future this gap will only increase.
Jobs outside aviation will be encouraged to work longer or have a good pension in place before pensionable age.
Years ago the 70 mph speed limit was introduced, the cars had crap brakes, infact crap everything. These days cars are so much better but we still have 70 mph...bodies and minds are also different these days.
