I am at this point too.

Both sides have BS arguments.

The for crowd saying, " you can retire whenever you want" annoys me because it is still a financial loss for the people who plan to go out early because retiring at 62 in an Age 65 world vs retiring at 62 in an Age 67 world could very well mean having less money at 62 in the 67 world.

No one is being honest. The for crowd all hiding behind age discrimination while they screamed and moaned against Age 65 in 2007 because it harmed them. Or safety because a new FO at a legacy is less safe than they would be if they were flying at a regional instead. Or think they are entitled to more because they had it rough.

Against crowd is saying planes will fall out of the sky due to 66 year old falling asleep.

What ****es me off even more is the ones that are so self-absorbed into themselves and their own fitness, they want to make medical standards fit their overtly strict viewpoints( see that guy saying have the 40 year old meet his fitness at 66 with a body builder physique in BA's letter). Or the ones bitter over how they were hired during the time of astronaut physicals so everyone should still be hired with astronaut physicals( it's the no one should have it better than I had it view point).
