Actually, I have a home in New Zealand! The fact of age discrimination only matters to those whom become subjected to it! And yes, I still have the first wife and have only ever lost one job! The airline job in the USA! To age 60.
My intent was to explain that the mere statement on EK's website that age 65 was ok did not affect the desires of that company to hire pilots under 55. I am sure there are countless reasons why......but would advise over 55 pilots to spend their time elsewhere.
Best Wishes for the Holidays! Fly Safe!
