I also read the linked article's title as 67 is the mandatory retirement. I'd say it's far from "very clear". The point of his post was the sarcasm anyway.

At 60 the medical here in Japan gets pretty tough but at 63 it gets even more so..., it includes a series of tests for cognition, memory, heart monitor for 24 hours..., we had 5 guys turned 63 in the past 18 months and only one pass his medical.

This is from the third paragraph in the article: Under Japan's new rules, those who are currently 64 or less will have the option of carrying on flying right up until their 68th birthday.
