Raymond Hall, the Winnipeg-based counsel for the group of pilots challenging the provision in the courts, said the government’s bill is welcomed — but too little, too late.
“When I sent out an email to my 200 clients, I got 15 emails from pilots asking, ‘I’m turning 60 before next December, so what will happen to me?’” he said. “My answer was that Air Canada might be able to continue its practice.”



Allow me to translate for you. The Federal Court of Appeals may allow Air Canada to continue the practice of pilots retiring at age 60. Or they may change it to something other than 60. My guess is that they'll change it to 65, aligning Air Canada's retirement age with current ICAO standards.

From another part of the article:

All Canadian jurisdictions, with the exception of New Brunswick, have now abolished mandatory retirement, although there are some exceptions in some provinces for particular occupations.


Again, there are exceptions to no mandatory retirement age.
