You clearly flunked statistical trend analysis in school. Other strongly implies greater than 68. The person that put the poll together didn't want to include every age past 68 that's why it's at the end. He made it clear that the "no way" was 65 and all the rest are in favor of raising it to something greater than 65. Any 3rd grader could see that.

I'm part of that "vast majority". I thought our generation was the one supposed to complain about young kids not being able to do math/know words.
Even when you totally disregard the "maybe" in the options, you get a plurality of 47% in favor of increasing, and 32% dead set against. That leaves 20% whose opinion we have no idea about, but because the way the question was framed could all be on favor of going back to age 60, leading to a majority of 52% against raising the age.
I'm in favor of raising the age, for purely selfish reasons. I am also in favor of a first class medical that actually tests for physical and mental health, and cognitive abilities.

Ok but first after my 8 mile mountain hike today. Yes it is a thing if you actually went to college you would know that. Used in finance and basic statistics.

Ever wonder why ALPA has not put out a poll? They know the results would make them look more out of touch than they already are.

Poll or no poll, our failure is to think we really are that important as just a cog. Definitely strength in numbers, but business is business and $$$ drives them, us, simply everyone for the most part with some exceptions. Most any pilot at 65 is at the top of their pay scale so there is minimal argument for two more years. Reality is Boomers will come and go, Gen X will come and go, followed by the next and maybe perhaps the next if they aren’t replaced by automation or reduced in some manner. Bottom line: Everyone will get old or are already older and eventually everyone dies. Longer you have remaining the more pitfalls you will be subject too within this industry. Always be prepared or ready to “Brace for Impact”, there is no normal life it’s just life - Enjoy your OneLife!
*Yup, I am older but 60 sounds like a good plan - I do have other ventures I would like to pursue, but no one knows exactly what’s right until you get there.
