Retirement age vs Longevity

[infiniti757]

I have watched the debate over age 60 with some interest as I am going to be flying for a 121 carrier soon. I've heard many arguments on both sides for both positions. What I have not heard is empirical evidence about the effects retirement age on your life. I looked around and found some numbers that are pretty interesting. I know that insurance agencies have actuarial tables that place a dollar value on your life. The numbers for these studies should add some interesting fuel to these dabates.

I know these numbers are old so if anyone has anything newer feel free to post it.
