Who knows why. Combination of horrible money management, too many ex wives, hating their current wife and not wanting to be home, etc...
At NetJets there are pilots pushing 80, although I think they're all out on medical. Owners have complained and NJA has looked for a way to ease those guys out but can't get around age discrimination laws. That's why they tried to get it snuck into legislation a few years ago. Law was written so it'd only apply to NetJets. Never did get included in the final bill thou.
I went out on medical at 60 and I am fine with staying out, I have LOM coverage thru age 68.
