BD - you are an absolute tosser.
Every pilot who has joined any big airline did so with the understanding that the EBA agreement or equivalent determined who got promoted, demoted and retrenched.
This applies whether you are 6 (your mental age) or 60.
To single out pilots on the basis of age is simply not on.
PS - I have been retrenched from 2 large airlines at age 38 and 52. Well over 60 now and still flying with just as much right as any other pilot within the constraints of the workplace agreement.
