A ton of guys at United said they'd be out at 62. I watched monthly retirement numbers while on furlough. In the end, it was about 5% that retired before 65. I didn't bother trying to compute if anyone retired at 60 or 62.

May 13 Airline Weekly; “Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is said to be preparing to introduce legislation that would raise the retirement age for commercial airline pilots in the U.S. by at least two years, to 67.
Two people familiar with the proposed legislation confirmed that Graham is in the process of building support among his colleagues in Congress before introducing the bill.”

Well what have you been doing for the past 30+ years? Have you not had enough time and money to "put some serious coin in the bank?" Is 3 more years really going to change your financial picture in such a way that your QOL will be substantially better? If you've been a WB captain long enough, I'm sure your earnings were in the $300k plus range for a while. At some point, all that WB flying will catch up with you. And I don't think all that flying in your late 60s will do much good for your health...

I am 100 percent for it. I should be able to work as long as like as long as I pass a check ride and my medical. Timing is everything in this industry. The age got changed to 65 when I was a FO, which delayed my upgrade by years, I just accepted and kept on working. The mystical Covid and the Mystical election have all had consequences, we are now seeing the results of both and they are not good.
