Truth to any of this?
I know it -was- true, back in the mid 1980's.
Ask the UAL 89r's.
And in about 1991, North West was sued by some 40's+ age pilots who were interviewed in the 1980s', but not hired. They won, and NW had to re interview and hire some of them.
Not sure there's been any discrimination lately, only because none of the Majors have been hiring in about the last 5 years.
