Age 65 is a move in the right direction. Even better would be no age restrictions. Some are on the short end of this change currently but will benefit long-term. Sure those who fall into the 60-65 age range are a big expense to the airlines but in most all cases they have also earned it.

I am actually surprised when I hear pilots who are not in support of this change. We see so many comments on professional pay, treatment and solidarity. The age 65 change, unless I am missing something was not a win for the airlines; it was a win for the pilots. Just because we not in a position to immediately reap the rewards does not mean we are not going to get our turn.
