Thumbs down Constitutionality

Given that we have recurring flight and medical tests to check the suitability of a pilot for a given task, the introduction of age as an overriding factor smacks of discrimination.

Discrimination based on age (alone), so-called "agism", is unlawful in most countries, and any law that enshrines such discrimination could be challenged in the Constitutional Court.
