With the current dismal outlook, let’s lower the age back to 60.

That's not happening, unless we have ten smoking hole WB accidents clearly attributal to cognitive decline in old pilots.

Wasn’t the FAA in talks with EASA to increase it to 67/68?
Prior to this “light flu” .....

I had heard nothing official about the FAA considering that other than internet rumors. It was a fairly obvious potential development with the pilot shortage looming around the corner. I think it's off the table for now, if it ever was on the table.

I was just funnin about lowering the age back. At least now, no real push to get above 65.
