1261 days to go!

Age 65 for me equals at least an EXTRA $2 MILLION in pay for working less than half of those extra five years. I'm all in favor of 65.

Brown----ignore. Great, got that out of the way.

I fear the debate isn't over. I think it was Air Transport Weekly, but some idiot wrote in whining about being forced to retire, and how the Age 65 rule wasn't fair either.

This was in my mind when guys were decrying Age 60 as an "arbitrary number". How is 65 any different?

I sincerely hope these guys call it a day and a career at 65.

Let's not forget ICAO changed the age first. Unless ICAO raises their age again, I don't see it happening in the U.S. That being said, I think age 65 is one of the worst things to happen to our industry besides the outsourcing. Outsourcing has allowed our salaries to drop to levels we couldn't even imagine 10 years ago.

Changing it was one thing, the problem I have is the WAY it was done. If it had to be changed it should've been done gradually, like raising the mandatory retirement age 1 year every 3 years or something to that effect. That way you still get some attrition and mitigate furloughs to a degree. Going from 60 to 65 overnight was the wrong way to go about it.

Unfortunately our government doesn't understand what it means to do something logical. Throw something together, fire it down the pipe and go with whatever happens. Clean it up later if it screws over enough people and they yell loud enough-but only enough to ease some of the yelling.

"Geezer Meter" ?

"Equity Estimator" ?

"Upgrade Indicator" ?
