Yes, let's stop arguing over which past "retirement age vs life expectancy" studies are valid and which are not.
ALPA National could spend some dollars to start actively tracking retirement age vs life expectancy for retired pilots.
The sample size should be large enough to be statistically significant, if done from a national perspective....and we could compare most recent retirees (those who had to retire at 60) with those who will work beyond 60 in the future.
It may take 10-15 yrs to finalize, but could prove very beneficial to future generations, who will need to make their own retirement s in 10-15 years....and beyond.
Let's not miss the opportunity to collect the data now.
