Actually, what's being discussed in Europe and Australia, low level so far, is no age limit or maybe 67. The issue is pilots are healthier than ever, they don't want to quit an occupation they enjoy. In the US, age 67 would allow collecting full Social Security. Outside of airlines, lots of guys with retirement hacked are staying on.

The percentage staying on past 60 is higher than expected. It's a pretty high percentage. The last Number One at DL was 65.

We have a guy, almost 68, collecting 2 retirements and SS, still flying. He has great health, likes the flying and doesn't have a need in the world for the money. My FAA doc is 84 and tells his patients, many pilots, keep working, it'll prolong your life.
