I know it's depressing to realize that you're effectively powerless, but life makes more sense and you'll have less angst when you accept reality. IF the rule changes then each individual pilot will choose what they do - its not their fault the rule changed so why throw shade when they choose to stay?
Let's just assume they change the age to 68. Then let's just assume you can't get that medical for some reason. That extra 500k plus tax free dollars would be pretty sweet. But hey I digress pilots suck at basic math
