Age Discrimination in flying

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the reminder on the 'Human Rights' possibility ... but the sad fact is that now that the Ian Evans Tribunal hearing is over, until and unless the matter is raised again and at the associated cost, nothing is liable to change, depending of course on the Tribunal's actual decision.

But it may well be that the Tribunal allows Ian's claim which will put the cat among the proverbials. I imagine that whichever way the decision goes, the press may well be able to have some fun with it.

Ken, you may well know there is a succession of increasingly stringent medicals available, but the radioactive Isotope procedure is expensive, say around £1,000. Would/should pilots pay for that?

Views on this and my above post requested please.

Dennis Kenyon.
