Hi!
This whole argument is actually stupid, since there's nothing ANYONE, or any organization, including ALPA , the FAA, or any airline group could do to stop it.
It is $.
Demographics show us that there will be less and less workers to support each retiree on gov't benefits (Soc Sec, Medicaire and Medicaide). To have any chance at all of keeping them solvent, the gov't has to have all of us work more years to help pay for the retiree benefits.
I would not be surprised if I was flying for a -121 carrier when I turn 65, if this age was still the limit then.
The European aviation agency set up an age 70 committee last year, as they're in the same boat we're in.
