Actually, you might want to go back through the thread and try reading it for comprehension. I never said we WOULDN'T hire some one. I said we would prefer pilots who can fly the line for two years.
We would always consider pilots who could continue after 65, especially in a Training Department capacity. The key is recovering the investment you make in a pilot for training and qualification. Period.
As an aside, you could make your same argument about the Age 65 rule. Especially considering pilots over 65 can still fly Part 135 and Part 91 flights. Now that's age discrimination.
