Yes it does..................You should actually do some research on what the SCC has to say on this issue.....In the early 1990's, two CP pilots took their complaint all the way to the SCC...One of the interesting facts was that although their MEC did not agree with extending the retirement age of their pilots...they decided to let the Court make the judgement call......as did the pilots association of Qantas and Air New Zealand. Of course, not our MEC.
The two CP pilots lost their complaint. In a number of ways their complaint was quite different from ours but it had many common arguments..........Sorry but you will have to do the reading of the case to understand the nuances. Their union's[CALPA stood down] position was quite different when comparing their position with ours. In this case there were two dissenting opinions. Now for the possible bad news for you.....the dissenting opinion was written by the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada....The Right Honorable Beverly McLachlin.
Now for a personal point of view.........In all my research, i have found that although the vast majority of the pilots unions throughout the western world did not agree with extending the age of retirement .....none were litigious. The Jazz pilots actually were very proactive.
