British Airways has a fantastic cross-section of ages working for them. Alot of the crew are in their 40's and 50's - and that's one of the things that I love about this company. I love working with the older crew because they're just so interesting. Alot of them have been flying 20 or up to 35 years (flown with a few crew members who joined the company in the late 1960's!), and the stories and their general presence and attitude to life etc. is fascinating.
Unfortunately, at the moment, almost all of them have to retire when they hit 55 (our Union pushed for this retirement age way back in the 70's) - but hopefully this will change when that new age discrimination act comes in next year or the year after.
Having said all that though, I love working with the younger crew as well - it's a really healthy mix of people to have in a working environment.
