By all means, the law of retirement at the age of 65 for commercial operations is old enough and need to be reconsidered! This is not the first time that European regulations contradict local laws! Vote your politician

In Argentina is already a reality. The Medical certificate is the limitation, not the age as suggested by the Icao

IMHO Potential risks due to health-based implications are more then outweighed by all experience gained and the level of competency reached at that stage!
Great push, thank you!

It might be wise to differentiate between the possibility to continue up to the age of 65-66-67 and the obligation to do so to obtain a pension. Our enthousiasm and eager to continue flying as long as possible and the systematic shifting upward of the pilot's retirement age is a blessing for the happy ones that are able and fit enough as well as a serious burden for those that silently disappear from the radar because the age takes it's toll. Let's keep that in mind too.

It was easy to force the whole Belgian pilot community to loose not only their pension right concerning age of retirement, but also to steal the extra pension that all Sabena group pilots paid (through their salary, -560€/months) just because there are not enough pilots in Belgium to cause any big trouble. Why was it not applied to train drivers, aircraft controllers, firefighters, journalists and members of the government ? It is time to give back at least a minor amount of fairness…

Belgium has already the lowest pension rates of any major airline in Europe. On top of that, pensions are taxed at 38% in Belgium. The net result is an average of 50% less netto pension than in Germany, France, Holland and the UK after a full career doing the same job.

Extend pilot retirement age to at least 67. Age is only a number, if you’re fit, healthy, can physically/mentally do the job and have a good attitude.

Well done!
All European countries must change this limit. It’s a non sense. Let’s go ahead for everyone
Thank you
Keep up the good work
