Reserve
Commuting
Time in a crash pad
Time at a regional airline
Time as FO
Time on smaller equipment making less money
Crappy contracts because there is a higher supply of pilots
You name it. Hopefully age 60 does not change for the benefit of all pilots under the age of 55.
We don't want to work longer just to earn the same amount of money

Many of the airline guys (majors) that I have talked to that are around 54-58 are still planning on retiring around 60 maybe 61. The ones that can afford to do it financially are usually sick of the job at 60 and are ready to leave. Again notice I said the ones that can afford to do it. It will be interesting to see just how many stay the whole five years.

Balderdash,
I will believe it when I see it.
Can't think the Majors want to keep paying
those old farts for another 5 years.
New help is always cheaper than the old people.
Waiting to be proven wrong
