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.


Given the age of these retirees, it is likely they are from the ONLY generation to get hired into Air Canada straight out of flight school and have had the easiest and highest lifetime earning career of any pilots in Canada that have/will ever exist. What is the motivation here? Money? They didn't make enough over their 35 year airline career when the pay was much better than it is now? If it isn't about the money, if it's about the flying, go get a corporate job or do something useful at the local flight school. You know, give something back.
