I completely understand your concerns; I was hired in 2000 at the age of 39. You might be surprised to find out how old many of UAL's were when they were hired; we had a lot of ex-Easterners hired in the 90s.
An arbiter will have a very difficult job. He'll make the best possible decision without any personal biases.
If it does go down, good luck to all.
I understand but I was hired in my 20's so I guess its all relative. The big point I'm trying to hammer home is there is no one sure method to do this so expect some creative work by an arbitrator.
