None of the younger pilots are pushing for Age 56. And it was an example, it's not really a thing.
And no, by no stretch of the imagination, would continuing with the status quo of 65 be the same as pushing for Age 56.

Both groups agreed to a set of terms when they joined the profession. Now, one group wants to change those terms to benefit themselves. That is the difference.

There's a big difference between not wanting to further devalue your career for the benefit of the few and wanting to move the retirement age so you can spend years longer in the most lucrative and highest QOL position. Both are not greed.

Greed, selfishness can outlast any career. Fit & still frisky, water cannon at 80. Why not?

If airliners aren’t all single/0 pilot 30 years from now I’ll eat my hat. I want my money now, not a longer career after 2-3 years of stagnation. I sincerely hope those who have been able to retire in aviation, and have been planning on retirement at 65 can enjoy their next chapter.

Nope. That is not what is happening. No big lobby of grey pilots asking for age 68. Only thing I said was that your motivation to keep the status quo is exactly as selfish as those wanting to change it. And as far as agreeing to a set of terms, pulleeeze give me a break. 3 pilot cockpit, far 117, 1500 hour rule, do i need to go on? The only reason you are against age 68 is because you don't benefit from it. Admit it and move on. That's what I did when age 65 happened.

I would benefit from changing the rule to Age 68. So not only are you incorrect in your accusations against me, you are flat out wrong in your reading of other people's motivations.

What's your age? My guess is early 50s.
Answer those questions and then we can talk about motivations.
