how’s their career earning potential compared to guys that got lost in the lost decade and waited 12 years to get to a legacy when upgrades were still few and far between and they did another 10 years in the right seat there.

there a valid arguments on both sides about money. There are no valid arguments to increasing or even eliminating the age limit while creating more realistic testing of medical and cognitive after 63.

It should be a performance based retirement job, not an age or money based.
