Let Foxhunter talk about using lawsuits to overturn age 60; it ain't gonna happen in the judicial system.
Thanks Andy, but ol' Foxhunter was talking about IF the age 60 rule changed to 65 without legislation (FAA), then already retired guys would be suing for their job back with seniority. I am aware that the courts of the US have ruled that age 60 IS NOT age discrimination. But Skygirl says it is, so it must be.
