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

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.
