You might miss me then. Currently looking at 64 to retire. If Congress/FAA change the mandatory retirement age to 67 (again, not a MUST WORK UNTIL 67), I might continue to 66. Or maybe 65. Or maybe 67. It will be MY choice. Choices are nice.

Sure choices are nice but stop with the false equivalency. Everyone freezes for two years. Those at the top of the pay scale get two more of the best paying years available. Those not there get frozen in position and their progression waits on the retirement of those above. Those not yet on property wait two years for the chance at what's left of a career.
The people advocating for 67 are about to be incredibly unpopular on the flight deck. But they don't care. This has always been about them and only them.

where is the “freeze point” in your argument - or asked differently, at what age do people get shafted?
clearly folks who turn 65 the day after this became law would get an extra two years at the top.
but how about a guy at 64? Frozen in place for two years! He/she would have to “suck it up” for two more years to enjoy that top seniority. Maybe not that much of a hardship you might say.
how about the 60 year old frozen in place and deprived? Is that hardship?
50 year old?
just an interesting exercise to think through at what point people feel deprived. And by how much.
