Most major pilots will go to age 65, largely due to the loss of their pensions, and as a general rule inadequate defined contributions to their 401k's etc from their airlines. Couple this with the cost of retiree health insurance soaring (premiums) until medicare age [65]...... The preceding 25 years most majors had defined benefit plans and limited the amounts a pilot could contribute to his 401k or at least had no defined contribution...With distress termination accompanying ch11 most pilots are now having to catch up and self fund a retirement out of approx 50% reduced wages....The amount of capital that you need to have a sustainable income is staggering at today's rates of return......If pilots could go to age 70 they most likely would just because it is that or join the new freight dog union ALPO.....That is for meals, eating dog food......Don't look for a wave of retirements they will go to 65 not out of greed but out of lack of other options.
