Raymond767,

How can you be so sure the age 60 will end at Air Canada do you already have a crystal ball to see the future?

The whole issue from my perspective has nothing to do with human rights. The collective agreement with this particular company was established long before we joined the company, everyone knew the the date of retirement was age 60 when joining. If the issue of change was being brought forward by pilots in their 30's or 40's I could see a point.

This issue has everything to do with selfishness and greed and nothing else. No one is forcing these pilots to retire at 60, only from Air Canada. I am currently flying as a B767 Captain in Asia, for one reason among others is I do not have to deal with individuals like you in my daily routine. There are enough jobs over here for everyone retiring at 60, come on over. Good luck in your quest. Lets at least try to leave something for the younger guys in this profession! The rest has already been taken.
