Again that’s if you are senior. So I imagine if there are those that end up working beyond 65 after retiring today they would probably stick around given the option. Not all but I figure most.

But you can't do those trips after age 65... ICAO. Except maybe east coast <=> HI/AK.

As pointed out above ICAO could change too, but that's not as easy as the ICAO chief medical officer just deciding to do it, there would have to be member state concurrence to allow older foreign pilots fly into THEIR airspace. I'm guessing that would take time, if at all.

I can see CA and MX aligning their rules with the US, so one way or another the golden oldies could probably do domestic North America ops.
