IMHO that need to change. The company should be able to bypass someone who is within two year (or whatever they decide) of retirement without having to bypass everyone senior to them.
Sorry for being obstinate, but that's not what the contract says. It states that if you are within 2 years of retirement, you can only be displaced if all pilots with earlier normal retirement dates are displaced. Doesn't make any mention about one's seniority.
Look at the last AE: DTW 350A, no. 444 was bypassed, yet no.125 is going to training.
