As I am approaching geezerhood at 60, I am mostly agnostic on this issue. But if the decision were mine, I would not change the age.

Just food for thought here but I fly with a lot of 98–2001 hires and most all of them are favor in increasing the age to 67 now. It's not just the "1989 hire, age 64 guys" that are in favor.
