Seniority versus Age Discrimination
Seniority has been a prime factor in airline conditions of service for a long time. This month the (UK) govt introduced rules to outlaw age discrimination. In my view, seniority is impartial and widely accepted. Age and seniority are not the same, although some are making the case that seniority is de facto age discrimination. I'd be interested in hearing whether the legislation is making a difference to the conditions or contracts of ppruners.
