Read my post:

1. Your thread contains no news and this is a professional pilot news forum.

2. A number of posts were critical of, or took exception to your appalling suggested discrimination against "senior workers".

Senior workers continue working for many reasons, none of which include the specific intent of keeping you out of their job.

Regardless of one's superannuation and wealth - whether a retiree is self funded or funded by society - there is a significantly greater cost burden on our Australian society when a worker retires. Statistically, if the present retirement age is retained, by 2045 one in three Australians will be retirees, which is economically unsustainable on our Australian society.

In case you missed it, Australia is currently debating an increase in the retirement age to 67 and I suspect within a decade that will further increase to 70.

Learn to live with it dude, don't be in a rush to grab a senior worker's job. He is just as entitled to work as you are - and one day you too may reach the same age.
