Some of the few pilots who will be healthy enough to fly past 65 and also choose to fly past 65 will have the seniority to do just that. Which diminishes their effect on flying needs.
Another reason I don't think this is the boogyman it's made out to be.

I feel I have to say this each time I make a post like this but I'm not for increasing the age. There's just so many other things I'm concerned about, this just isn't on the radar for me. With almost half the pilots out there out on disability by 65, the absolute worst case is a year of stagnation in movement and I think there are so many other factors at play here to swallow up that year where no one even notices a difference.
