This can only be true if the FAA lifts the age-60 rule. As such, the timeline above leaves out the part about being forced to retire from the airlines at 60 and then taking a lower-paying job at a Part 135 charter firm or a fractional company, where you also have crappy seniority since you're a new hire. Then you lose your medical at 65, die at 70 and then become happy at last.

Not neccessarily. Before 9/11, I knew of a beyond age 60 United captain that was riding sideways in a 727 to help pay for two of his grandkids to go to the UND flight program, untill he was forced to retire due to layoffs.

Whooo hoooo...It's a party then! I just picked up a six pack of Harp's...if the smokes are Camel straights...I'll be right over.

Side note: They just had the Simpsons episode on where they turned Bart and his buddies into a boy band and they were being used as a front for Navy recruitment in a subliminal advertising scheme.

It was pretty funny when Lisa confronted the manager and he pulled off his wig and said, "that's right, LT L.T. Smash!" And Lisa Simpson says, "But your pants legs!" And LT Smash pulls some ripcords and the straight legs turn into bell bottoms. Priceless.

What does that got to do with this thread? Who knows? Who cares? Lets party!
