That's still descrimination. Low hours <33 = OK Low hours >33 = Not OK.
In so far as I am physically and mentally capable, I am supposed to enjoy the same rights of access to work as everybody, regardless of age, gender, religion blah blah. I am a qualified commercial pilot. This therefore is a significant barrier to my "right" to a career of my choice, therefore to be consistent with the prevailing culture (which I already said is bonkers) anomalies like this shouldn't exist.
