Why is it not fair to give those who made the move later in life a temporary leg up?
Because quite frankly I don't give a **** they got hired the same time as me but older.. pull seniority out of a hat, use social security numbers, but it is age discrimination the way it's done now. And no I don't think they would win because I think there have been similar law suits in the past where they have lost. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's why old united did it according to social security numbers.
