in most western countries to offer lesser conditions based on age would be viewed as discrimination.
The point is they’re not. Make no mistake I don’t agree with the lower pay some may face if they go to COS08. The reality is the company will argue in any court that they have given every pilot a chance to work until 65. The fact that the COS08 pay scales are lower in some jurisdictions is irrelevant to any age discrimination laws unless that pay cut is tide to a particular age. With the exception of “A” scales past 55, I can’t see anywhere where they are.
