parabellum
I think you may have taken what I said incorrectly. My point was that by imposing RA65 to those joining after 1/1/08 and those going or on a base the company is discriminating against those that want to retire at 55.
By the way retirement age for pilots around the world has generally been related to ones ability to maintain a valid medical. Those that were contested in courts were generally because the retirement age was lower than the maximum age one could hold a medical. With the passage of time studies have shown that age 60-65 is about the maximum one can reasonably expect to be able to pass the class one medical and be safe in command.
