Those that think an increase in the working life of a pilot will result in an overall increase in the pension they eventually retire with, is being naive in the extreme.
Airline bosses will immediately readjust the company pension contributions downward to offset any potential increase for the employees.
In other words, we will all be working longer into older age, and we will be that little bit less capable of enjoying our eventual retirement (in terms of vitality).
Not to mention being a few years closer to the grave anyway.

Hamsters on the wheel springs to mind.
