I'd give them 2-3 years, then either implement a science-based limit or remove the limit (no I don't think there should be no age limit).
No matter what the limit is there are going to be risks in both directions. Some will be robbed of their career potential earlier than necessary, and some will have been allowed to work a few years longer than may have been ideal.
For all those who hated on the pension system, this was/is a benefit as once you are fully invested in it, working longer usually was almost counterproductive, much better to collect your pension and work as a golf course starter than stick around for essentially 1/2 the pay.

Delta and more airlines to follow slowly stopping hiring new pilots
no shortage but soon will be abundance of pilots
therefore age 67 should be a dead deal
lets hope no furloughs in the future

EVERYONE ELSE LOSES!

I agree 100 percent
To add to that, working pilots will subsidize their LTD
and a big percentage of them will be on LTD
