(c) No certificate holder may use the services of any person as a pilot on an airplane engaged in operations under this part if that person has reached his 60th birthday. No person may serve as a pilot on an airplane engaged in operations under this part if that person has reached his 60th birthday.

Contrast that with the parallel paragraph in Part 135:
§ 135.95 Airmen: Limitations on use of services.
No certificate holder may use the services of any person as an airman unless the person performing those services—
(a) Holds an appropriate and current airman certificate; and
(b) Is qualified, under this chapter, for the operation for which the person is to be used.

And of course, there's nothing like that in Part 91.

The US and a very few other countries disagree with this change. The age 60 rule is under review here in the US and I expect it will be increased to age 65 in the next few years.
It was under consideration before the ICAO change, but now that pilots from foriegn airlines will be serving US cities with pilots > 60, how can the FAA deny US pilots the right to do that?
