Actually, it will be 1,945. Not good with numbers?
I am sorry you were passed over, and, in many societies, doing so because of age is not considered acceptable.
But you didn't apply for a job in YOUR society, and to be upset that the people in this part of the world run their business by their rules isn't going to get you anywhere.
Unlike race, age DOES effect your long term value as an employee. Would you expect to be employed in a country that has a mandatory retirement age of 65 at 64 1/2? 63?
Point is, it's their train set, and to get upset and start making outrageous statements about safety because things didn't go your way does not present you in the best light.
Did you post on a public website to get honest opinion, or just re-assurance, and anyone who doesn't agree can "Go to hell"?
