The age-old 60-year retirement rule is in the process of being revisited.

In my opinion the U.S. needs to allow medically qualified pilots to fly
beyond age 60. With so many airlines reneging on their retirement plans at
the same time the minimum age to get Social Security payments is going up,
we will have more and more "retired" pilots having to get jobs as "greeters"
in large stores.
