im pretty sure age descrimination laws only protect people over 40. anyway why shouldn't age be used. a 25 year old has 39 years to get close to #1, a 45 year old does not. the only way i might see to be better would be everyone take a systems or indoc test and highest score is first but that would only work if they were hiring into 1 fleet type ( this might work at SWA)
