Settle down, everyone. I made comment on the quote from @Blockplus because the quote was that age discrimination is illegal. My comment was simply reference that remark.

The FAA imposed an age cutoff of 32 years old by date of hire for Air Traffic Controllers. That, would be age discrimination. The only exception to this is if you're a military veteran eligible for the Phoenix 20 program which stipulates that you are eligible for FAA employment if you've completed 20 years of service in your respective branch of service.

It's why the FAA created the abysmal and now defunct CTO program. Shortage of Controllers who eventually had an 85+% washout rate.
