I get what you're saying, but they're fundamentally different programs. Hitting your known retirement stop as a 121 pilot isn't being fired, layed off, nor is it an unexpected event. To your last point, that may come to pass via means testing, though that's a hot potato that few politicians are going to want to touch.
