One is younger has x amount of 121 time, no TPIC, and the other is older and has twice as much 121 time, plus 1000 121 TPIC. For this example these are the ONLY objective qualifications. Everything else for the sake of this argument is unknown and we'll treat as subjective factors. A younger applicant receives an interview invitation, the older applicant does not. Is this the case (and this case alone!) of age-based discrimination or not? All I'm asking for are the arguments for or against. And not a lecture on motivation
