Good news for pilots - retirement age

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

Is that really good news for pilots who were looking forward to
retiring at 60?

Which pilots would those be...?

I imagine piloting a simulator might become boring; real aircraft with
air under your very own ass, rarely, if ever.

Pilot unions are opposed to raising the retirement age for pilots. In
fact, from what I understand, they were behind setting the age at 60
to begin with.

So why are unions against raising the maximum age?
