I can still retire when I want? How about any legacy pilot 65+ can still go work for any number of non-121 flying gigs and make good money there. Both arguments are essentially greedy when you get down to it. Difference is, the anti-67 argument has precedence on it's side. We're not campaigning to lower the retirement age, you're campaigning to raise it. Which sounds more like entitlement to you? You're the ones with a case to make, and "helping the company" and "I deserve it because I had a rocky road" don't make great ones, sorry. All the young whipper-snappers coming up now will undoubtedly face many hurdles of their own, if that makes you feel any better.
