I hope that EASA does the same - UK nationals currently of about 40 and lower won't get state pensions until they're 69, and with so many airlines giving appalling pensions, if any, then retirement becomes a worry for many.

As long as service at an airline beyond the current contracted retirement is voluntary, not mandatory, then this is a good thing - mandatory licence nullification at 65 is pure ageism and illegal in the EU, though it has yet to be challenged. If someone can pass the medicals and sim checks, then there is no safety issue, which is what the 65 mandate is based on. Time to give fit old folk the choice.
