When it personally affects hundreds of pax in the back, it’s no longer just your business.

This is simply not true. Federal Law Enforcement Officers must retire by 57. I am sure there are other examples.

I'm not for raising the retirement age, but he does bring up a good point. If we're forced by the government to retire at 65, we should be able draw full social security at 65. ​​​​​​​

I support that. Put our efforts there and I think everyone could get behind it.

Negotiated by the ATC controller union. Everyone hired pre-age 56 contract was grandfathered in and could work until they stroked out at their screens or died of asbestos poisoning . And those those guys had a defined benefit pension with a COLA, which made sticking around extra-stupid.

(I think age 65 is stupid for pilots, btw. Age 67 is ridiculous.)

They have a pension, at least federal law enforcement. Not 100% about ATC.

Edit: someone above said it, they have pensions too. Not saying this is a reason to go to 67, but that’s a big difference when you are funding your own retirement.

They have a pension that pales in comparison to what we can put away compounded over a few years. Ask me how I know.

Boohoo funding your own retirement? Much rather have our DC than ANY kind of pension. Everyone is all about personal responsibility here until it comes to funding your own retirement.
