Its selfish on both sides I think. Older guys want to stick around and cash in on working less and making more, younger guys want the chance to move up. I think its funny how both sides argue this righteous point of view, "its age discrimination!" or "its not safe having 65 year olds in the cockpit." They're both looking out for themselves. Personally, I would have liked to have seen it stay 60, to cash in on the wave of retirements in the next decade. Its 65 now, so no big deal, just move it up to the next 12-15 years. Thats my view on it though.
