A Brussels labour court of appeal has convicted EAT (European Air Transport) on November 17th on age discrimination. EAT is a 100% subsidiary of DHL-Deutsche Post. Fact: In April 2006 EAT terminated the contracts of all pilots over the age of 60 despite them having employment contracts up to the age of 65. Out of 9 pilots 4 went to court with the before mentioned outcome. On their website EAT-DHL-Deutsche Post commonly state that they do not tolerate discrimination for whatever reason. The CEO in charge at EAT in 2006 is now becoming the CEO of EAT-Leipzig, the rumour says. So DHL-EAT-Deutsche Post just follow their own rules when it suits them best, as another post in the freight dogs column shows.
