Neither side looks at science unless it supports their argument. For those who support raising the age, the real argument is that they don’t want to get forced off of the gravy train like those before them. For those against raising the age, the real argument is that they don’t want to fly longer, yet they also want to avoid having their seniority progression cut by another 2 years.
