I would love to see them raise it to 67 maybe even 70 or so in about 5 or 10 years. First of all, Call me selfish but The industry has been to stagnet for too long. Second the FAA will have had a chance to show (to the flying public) how successful the 60 to 65 movement was and the value of keeping experienced pilots in the cockpit. Baby steps!!

"Age 67" is a tool invented by 35 year-olds to try to induce coronary events in 45 year-olds.
Them and a handful of near-death 64 year-olds with no lives.
Just in case... three wrong answers, and I'll get a flight attendant to drag you out of my seat. And no Lawrence Welk trivia. All Beastie Boys and later.

For someone who is an FO at a smaller airline who professes to hoping to leave JBU for a legacy, 67 to 70 will keep you from being hired at a legacy for that many more years.
