Then I guess age 65 is age discrimination too? Maybe they should make it 70..how bout 75.. how bout no mandatory retirement age at all. Just fly till you die! We all knew the rules coming in to this game, lets not change em now. The new rule will supposedly require one under age 60 pilot up front. Sounds like they're a little worried about the safety of having older pilots up there.

Be reasonable. age 65 is a standard retirement age. It's only the selfish folk who are advocating keeping it that way(age 60). I myself see it as in the best interest for everyone to make it 65(btw i'm 33)

How many guys are going to lose their medical between 60 and 65? My guess is quite a few. Will they be able to retire at full benefits if they can't make it to 65? Seems like we should be arguing to lower the age to 55 so we could all spend a few more years on a beach somewhere.
