That's easy. Stop paying them welfare. Cut them off.

My only input, if you vote for the age 60 rule/against the age 65 rule. A mandatory age 60 retirement is incurred by the voter regardless of the outcome of the ruling. Don't vote for it now when it's personally beneficial, yet work till 65 later because it's personally beneficial then.

Let's do away with the mandatory retirement age altogether. Let the pilot decide when he/she wants to retire - as long as they can maintain a Class 1 medical, of course.
I hit 65 in June this year, but I've been retired for 6 years - because I had a pension that allowed me to retire and because I wanted to retire - not because some junior wannabe said that I should.

We have the voting power. Lets make this happen.
Many of you young RJ F/Os prob have no clue what I'm referring to.
I'm staying until I'm 65. In today's economy and airline management practices....many of us are glad the age was raised.
Of course, I need to get hired by a real airline first.

Stop talkin that sense... How people gonna pay for cable and cell phone, cigarettes and booze? If you cut them off... And they have to work... And pay taxes... They'd be in poverty. Can't work. Won't happen. Next idea.

Heck, you don't need to bring back age 60.
Just make the FAA medical the same as the EASA medical, and given by government doctors like they do in Euroland, and there'd be more progression than you could shake a stick at.
