It would be nice if those rooting for the change would at least acknowledge the negative impact the change would have on those waiting for recalls and those waiting for the same chance for and upgrade that everyone for the last 49 years had.
Perhaps they will when people in favor of keeping the rule acknowledge the damage that age 60 does to the careers of the other half. In other words, it is all parochial no matter which side of the coin one finds himself.
To those who say that you can quit at 60 if it changes and you don't like it, I would suggest that the rule change takes away 3-5 extra years (not all will go to 65 for one reason or another) of quality of life from that guy. There needs to be some empathy for that too.
