Pandora's Box has been opened with the change to age 65. Unless airlines adamantly oppose and lobby against another change, the age limit will change again. And since Pandora's Box has been opened, the new change will be much faster than the change from 60 to 65. My best guess is that the age limit will increase within the next 4 years.
