Let Virgin employ who they want to employ.
I think if we did that, then discrimination would be even more common place than it already is.

There is nothing wrong wth giving young inexperienced people a go any more than there is giving old inexperienced people a go. Thats what this is all about. Discrimination based upon age. Thats exactly what VB does, and it is exactly what these people are fighting them over.

The experience that Carol mentions is more of an illustrative tool than anything else. She has proven that she can do the job. Now she has a fight with age.

VB are discriminating. Simple as that.

Ditzy, sinala, have either of you been on the receiving end of discrimination like this? You dont understand until you have seen it up close.

I watched my wife go through it. Its messy, painful, and just plain wrong. These big companies will use whatever nasty below the belt tactics they can come up with, lie cheat etc. It aint nice.
