An independent survey of 431 U.S. retirees who are 65 and older conducted by Extend Health this year found that 85% of respondents opposed a mandatory retirement age. Of those who disagreed, 42% say the retirement age should be 65; 31% say it should be 70; 21% say it should be 67; and the remaining 6% say it should be 72.

It should come as no surprise that when it comes to choosing when to
retire, age matters - that basically argues retirees will be better off, the
longer they keep working.

Bill C-481 Second Reading
Madame Folco's Bill C-481 goes to second reading November 15th;
From Hansard, when Bill was given First Reading:
Bill C-481 | openparliament.ca
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-481, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Canada Labour Code (mandatory retirement age).
Mr. Speaker, I am rising today in this House to introduce my bill on human rights and the Canada Labour Code to prohibit federally regulated employers from setting a mandatory retirement age. This would include private-sector employers subject to federal acts and regulations, as well as the federal public administration
The purpose of my bill goes one step beyond the decision of April 9 by the Federal Court of Canada, which found that age discrimination violated the charter following complaints by two Air Canada pilots. This was followed by a Human Rights Tribunal decision on August 28, which said, in part, that mandatory retirement was an affront to the right to equality and found that the infringement of equality rights through mandatory retirement could no longer be justified.
My bill would remove the offending provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Code and other federal acts and regulations.
These changes would affect more than 840,000 Canadians, or 10% of the country's labour force, at a time when our birth rate is on the decline. I hope that members on both sides of this house will support the swift passage of this bill.

ACPA has a history of not accepting reality.
I wonder whether they will accept THIS REALITY or continue to waste their time and money in some sort of futile attempt to strike or modify the decisions that have been announced today.

True the TWO individuals are permitted to return, but that was never really in question. However, this was not the slam dunk that some here had envisioned. There is no Cease and Desist Order, there is no huge windfall compensation, and the two individuals can only be reinstated IF they have a current Pilots License, Medical and Instrument Rating. Apparently one has the requirements and the other not.
All in all, not nearly the result that many were hoping for.

Very true errbus. No doubt Ray will try to spin this to make it appear to be a huge victory for the FlyPast60 group. However, as you mentioned, their victory is very small indeed.

Let me see now, one of these persons claimed he wanted to keep flying but didnt maintain a medical or IR? Dear Lord, does he now want AC or the taxpayers to cover this? Is he serious in this, or just along for the ride and cash?
