It's not as if an established retirement age for airline pilots is a new development.
As other posters suggested, maybe you should try some other GA flying if you haven't had the opportunity. Try sailplanes, ultralights, gyrocopters, floats, helicopters. There's so much more to aviation than 121. IMO, 121 flying is just a way to pay the bills while still getting to fly, the 'fun' stuff in aviation is done at a local airport.
If you need a jet fix, hopefully your retirement plan is good enough to afford an L-39!
