The bottom line is that it'll pass, or not, for reasons beyond our control. Write the letters and do the Call to Actions, but don't get too worked up over this. We'll all deal with it one way or another...whether we like it or not.

No, it’s both safety and fairness. 63 seems to be the magic number where some folks really decline rapidly. A small percentage to be sure, but significant. It’s a problem that would grow exponentially if we change the age to 67.
It’s also not fair for folks who benefited from mandatory retirement age their whole career to get two bonus years at the very top of the heap, while most of us will lose those two years because I won’t be flying that long I promise you.
