I was referring to enhancement of the lives and careers of pilots - I think
if you ask practicing pilots, even young ones, most would feel that the 60 rule
is unwelcome.

If that were true, the union wouldn't have fought over this internally
for decades. Remember, only 1/2 the members are old.

According to the news, slightly over half the pilots oppose the age
change. All the union reps on the FAA advisory committee oppose the
rule change. And apparently the pilots who do desire the increase in
age, don't _want_ to keep working, but _have_ to keep working because
of pension decreases.

All the financial, union and political stuff just obscures the fact
that it's not really a physical issue these days.
