The "benefit" of age 65 is the ability to go directly into medicare after retirement- and not be without insurance for 5 years as when the rule was 60. Lots of folks went to the big 142 schools between mandatory retirement at 60 and worked for 5 years as an instructor (good, bad, or ugly) just to have active medical insurance. I don't see a lot hanging out after turning 65 if they up the rule.

All that makes sense. The more "exprienced" pilots ive worked with however all say "id say til 67 if the rule changes, but thats it". We both know they would stay as long as they are permitted.
