That's all very well and I fully support CX's (and KA!) intention to follow the letter of the age discrimination laws.
However, can we therefore expect them to follow the letter of the law in ALL aspects of UK employment law. Will they be implementing policies for paternity / maternity leave, part time working, redundancy to name just a few?
I expect they won't mind if we follow the correct procedure to ballot for industrial action.
CX is not bringing in age 65 retirement because of legislation in its various basis. It's because it needs pilots and isn't able to attract them anymore with the crap package on offer to new joiners.
