Can you imagine either elderly pilots at controls of commercial aircraft while drastically reducing his longevity, or pilots being converted by force to MC Donalds waiters past 65 and before retirement?

With life expectante above 80 years old and most of the Pilots over 65 are in very Good Shape there are no reasons to retire them. A good case study is Brazil, there are several pilots flying in GOL/LATAM and other companies over 70 years old in National flights.

Pilot retirement should be aligned with government pension at age 67.

Dear All,
Yes if they increase the age to 67 for full pension someone needs to cover the income from 65 to 67.

Any form of age, limitation is age discrimination, and should be a criminal act. Let pilots fly as long as they are physically and mentally capable, which can easily be determined.

National pension and retirement rules must align with European law, pilots are being discriminated against by being fired to retire at 65, this is an outdated rule.

Outdated rule which neglects that cognitive fitness and abilities can go past the age of 65. Look at AUS&NZ: up to date with newest medical conclusions. The medical is the decisive factor not a stupid age number from the past.

Pilots should be able to fly until their legal retirement age in Belgium ( provided they still hold a valid medical), commensurate with their nonflying collegues who can retire at age 66 or 67. This is unfair and unfounded.
