Mama...

Any American pilots over 55 get the axe from Mobil/Eket? There are some interesting laws in the USA about such things....even for companies operating outside the USA. If Mobil had any input into that decision...they could be liable for prosecution in US courts for Age Discrimination. Even ARAMCO got sued by an oilfield type for that when he got dumped out of Saudi. The US law was amended after his suit was unsuccessful....and now makes it much easier for US Based companies operating overseas to be sued for discrimination.

With all these stories about Bristow coming out....makes one wonder what the management is thinking? Some OLOG influence here?
