Almost every NB CA I've flown with has said if the age was raised they would continue flying. Reasons given are the wife would want them to, they have too many financial obligations, they didn't adequately save up for retirement (a lot of those people lost their pensions), and the new contract pay raises are just too much to walk away from and want to realize at least a couple years of that earning potential.
