You (and others) need a reality check. Either you didn't read the Tribunal 2009 decision (no mandatory retirement at any specific age) or you don't read about what's currently going on at Air Canada, or you don't believe what you read.
Don't you know that a few weeks ago Air Canada made a written offer of reinstatement of employment to George Vilven? Don't you also know that yesterday was his 67th birthday? Did you know that that offer of reinstatement makes no mention whatsoever of any eventual required date of termination of employment based on age?
Don't you know that Air Canada currently terminates the employment of every employee in the company, other than pilots, at age 65? So that when the wording is finalized on the either his return to work agreement or the Tribunal order reinstating him, he will be the oldest employee at Air Canada, with no requirement to stop flying at any specific date?
