FH,

Just pointing out the oximoron which is the law. Wasn't that law pushed through by the babie boomers who didn't want to be denied a new job because of age when retirement in America was 62. Most companies wanted 20-25 good years and if they hired and trained a 40+, they had a hard time doing that while incuring higher medical and insurance expenses. Again, I'm not saying that age 60 isn't age discrimination, I'm just saying that it occures everywhere. A pilot doesn't suddenly become unsafe at 60 just like a person doesn't suddenly become capable of leading a country at 35(I think that's the age you have to be to run for president, you get my point). These are all just agreed upon limits to help assure a certain standard.
