Is this for real?

Having laid down its criteria for redundancies, Atlantic Airlines(Coventry) has bucked the trend somewhat and stipulated that length of service with the company will actually be held AGAINST Pilots!!
Apparently, the reason given is that bonded pilots are less likely to leave and so the company wont have to incur further training costs , resulting in those pilots obtaining a higher score than those with any significant length of service behind them.
Is this not a case of discrimination and do other airlines adopt this seemingly `odd` practice?
Has this system been contrived by people with agendas? Just a thought.
