I heard the same thing when age 65 passed. It was a common expectation that most would only stay to 62-63 and retire. Why would someone leave a job with outstanding senority that is essentially part-time, with max pay and benefits?
Just from personal experience and observation walking around the airport, we all know that a 1st Class Medical can be easily obtained.
