I would like to think that at the age of 60 I would want to be free to pursue my own interests. I understand that life circumstances have made this very difficult for some pilots to do, especially since they cannot draw other benefits for 2 to 5 years after "retirement." I feel fairly sure that if finances weren't a factor, most of us would leave at 60 to be free to do whatever we want. Unfortunately, that isn't the way things have worked out.
