BOTTOM LINE
There is no valid "age discrimination" argument for changing age 60 to age 65. To simply change age 60 and require ongoing medicals and sim checks, fine. But to raise it five years because the "60 part" was "age discrimination" and make it Age 65 which somehow is not age discrimination, that won't fly.
BET ON IT.
Too many pilot lounge experts and old head captains who think ATP also means "law degree" are about to be disappointed when the rule is kept in place.
AGAIN - I can GUARANTEE that not one court/legislative body/etc is going to abolish Age 60 and change it to Age 65 because "Age 60 is age discrimination"
I flat out guarantee this.
Some of you people whining about 60 year old pilots being unsafe worry me. So what if one happens to die in the cockpit on some rare occasion? Are you such weak sticks that you can't even land an airplane without the captain holding your hand?
An American Captain fell ill on shirt final and they nearly crashed. Will that always happen? Are you sure the FO will take over each time? And, why does ICAO recommend NOT having more than one age 60 pilot in the cockpit at one time? Answer that please. Do they know something?

It's going to happen sooner or later plan for it
