Why Panic gets told that he is considered too old for the position, although he is four years short of the max age for international flying, let alone there being no such age barrier to flying domestically in Aus.
Qantas v. Christie is different. In that matter the pilot was too old at that time to fulfil his role as an international pilot. It was not that he would be too old
in 4 years time.
The Australian Human Rights Commission website states: "Age discrimination is when a person is treated less favourably than another person in a similar situation, because of their age". Certainly seems to be the case here.
In regards to:
"The fact that a professional pilot has threatened to sue us instead of taking a graceful retirement from a flying role is noted and will be passed on at CEO level to all HR heads at major Australian operators therefore black banning you from Australian Aviation. Your Call
Have a great Day"
,
Absolutely disgraceful. A guy applies for a job, gets a knock back based on purely discriminatory grounds (geez, they didn't even have to give a reason however they did and it was an illegal one!!) and then not only does he receive a patronising suggestion that he retire gracefully, he get threatened with "blacklisting" after he mentions his legal rights.
I cannot for the life of me understand how some here are justifying the position of Jetgo.
