If they didnt want you because of your age they would just make another excuse on paper
Well the same could be said for the disability or race discrimination laws... but the laws work because individual cases eventually come to the tribunals and to the courts and Company Policies change to reflect the law. I'm sure there will be some inertia, but after spending over 80K to get stuck at the back of a dole queue - I'd be the first to bring a case against any employer who says I'm too old!!!
considering that the retirement age is 50 for over 90% of airlines id say ur s**t out of luck. On the plus side ive heard BA are extending there retirement age to 60...
Well, 55 seems to be the average from what I can see. Employ me NOW and you get at least 13 years out of me flying - and then give me a desk job until I'm 65!! That doesn't seem a bad deal for any employer - ESPECIALLY as I've funded the lion's share of my training. It's not like they have put any real investment into me!
