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.

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.
