we all know both comes at a great cost to my vintage, no, actually anybody not in the top paying position at AC not close to age 60 would pay dearly. Career earnings.....
Career earnings is an empty argument. The junior 320 FO in Toronto with reinstatements rights back to EMJ CA sits at 98% on the 320 list. That means 98% of the 320 FO's in Toronto
could have had his position and
could be making 30K more a year, but
chose not to. It is a similar story as you work up the line. As a group we
choose to give up massive amounts of career earnings on our own, so it's more than a little disingenuous to use it as an argument against eliminating mandatory retirement.
Rick3333331, wrt the CHRA, CHRC, CHRT and their provincial and territorial counterparts; it has become an absolute racket.
There are no doubt excesses like requiring a flower shop to hire someone who is allergic to flowers, and there is a point where individual rights cross the boundry of absurd. But that doesn't mean everything the human rights protectorate in this country does is bad. Age discrimination is still being practiced at Air Canada, and the only reason people agree with it is because they want to progress up the chain faster. That's not a good enough reason to force someone out of a job against their will.
