I am surprised this thread hasn't already been brought back so here it is. Just an opinion so prepare your quiver & arrows, this is going to happen. It's been in the news, the senate, the arena and they are debating. Bank on it. My question is what do pilots think? As stated in the last comment senior folks are going to love the added 2 years. Top paying, top max contribution into the 401k, possible new contract increasing that. And what is the position of folks regarding the ALPA position, who is fighting this with the below remarks.

Shouldn't we the pilots be able to decide when to quit, retire, or whatever? Sure, medical is out of our control. But if we have a class 1 isn't this why we have 2 folks in the cockpit also? Look forward to the discussion.

"However, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the main union representing airline pilots, said the risks of such a plan outweigh the potential advantages."

“Increasing pilot mandatory retirement age beyond 65 increases risk in aviation. According to numerous studies, including one in 2017 by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), cognitive abilities decline with increasing age, and there is an increased risk of cardiovascular issues and diabetes."

This was commentary sent out in an update.
