Your lawyer knows that but are you guys prepared for the water-down conditions upon which you will be able to fly past 60 ?
The CHRT has ruled, yet you guys and ACPA behave as if they hadn't and continue to forcefully retire pilots, who then naturally add their name to the list of those discriminated against according to the ruling last August. Every jurisdiction thinks exactly the same way including the federal government with their recently introduced legislation, but somehow you think ACPA's legal interpretation will win the day? You guys are deaf, blind and stupid.
When ACPA has run out of legal delaying methods unless a cease and desist happens first, we are all going to pay the very heavy price not only for ignoring the ruling, but the blatantly discriminatory tactics that ACPA has employed thus far to the thundering approval of the unenlightened. Your watered down working conditions (read discriminatory) are a figment of wishful thinking. Those pilots are, and will be full members of the bargaining unit with all the rights and privileges that you enjoy. So says the law.
You guys are trying in vain to convince all opposed to your position to quit and accept your assertion that you're going to take us to the cleaners. I guess that is you best chance at an outright victory so I can't blame you for trying.
No, we are trying in vain as we have been for years now that fighting this is futile and will be very costly. We have been trying in vain to convince you that managing this change will greatly decrease the negative impact. But nobody is listening. Nobody wants to take you to the cleaners...those are your words. Mandatory retirement based on age is now illegal in this country as it constitutes age discrimination, so in that sense it is already an outright victory if that's what you want to call it. Your position is dead, but you still act like it's alive and well.
