...Glueball you could say not everyone at BA
wants to be forced to retire at 55!
And how about the ban flying over France aged 60 or more - will that change too?
....to that you would have to ask the French! It does seem to me somewhat 'ageist' in the sense it contravenes the EEC's proposed rules on that sort of thing, but as the 'hard core' of Europe, they only pay lip service to EEC rules anyway! When pilots are forced out of a job because they are not allowed to fly over France for age reasons, I would expect they have a highly valid case for sueing the French Government for compensation!
