Well, at ASA I heard a senior capt talking about how his AME asked if he wanted to be a part of some test for age 67. Not flying past 65, as that is the rule, but just extra monitoring of his health I guess. He of course was exited.

Wouldn't be surprised...they just ruled in Canada that the 65 rule was illegal, so now they no longer have a mandatory retirement! Yay Canada! Why not increase it here or get rid of the rule! Those asses have already screwed up this industry with giving away the future of this industry...why not continue to screw us! Go get'em boyz!

Here's a thought: Retire when you feel like it. Live a simple life within your means and squirrel away part of your paycheck everyday for the rest of your life. Depend on no company to guarantee you a handsome retirement check. Flying 'til you die is just greedy unless you have a good reason to push yourself that hard. Always be ready to walk away from a job with nothing but what you've saved and your experience.
