This is enshrined in the American constitution. Those who support the absolute right of the majority to impose their will upon others are supporting the law of the jungle - might is right, gang law! They support gang rape, because it is wanted by the majority; they support swarms of teenage thugs mugging an old age pensioner in the shopping mall, because that is wanted by the majority. Civilised people recognise that this sort of behaviour and supposed right of a majority is not acceptable, either in violent criminal cases such as those mentioned or in civil matters such as people having the right to earn a living at their chosen occupation
A couple of points.
- The American constitution has nothing to do with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal court that ruled on this matter.
- Interesting how you make the analogy of gang rape to selfish pilots who want to continue flying past 60
- These pilots reaped the rewards of having every pilot senior to them retire at age 60 so their careers could advance and now when it is their turn to step aside it is deemed discriminatory.
- Now that it is deemed discriminatory, what happens to the pilot who retired 4 years ago? Is it fair to bring him back, spend thousands on his recurrent training to fly for additional 10 months?
I hope this is tied up in litigation for many many many years because this ruling is absolute
