Apparently you the FAA, ALPA and APA consider the United States Constitution to be not applicable to United States airline pilots
The law suits over the age 60 rule are coming. The FAA is culpable along with the labor unions who dealt bad faith to their own senior union members by perpetuating the age 60 rule for over 40 years. ALPA and APA institutionalized age discrimination as an accelerated job advancement scheme insuring early promotions for junior pilots. Labor unions such as ALPA and APA had no right in dictating to the rest of the United States airline industry when all airline pilots must retire.
Equal protection means equal protection, get it
Klako-
Just curious.....were you saying this "fightin' words" 10 years ago? 20 years ago? Or did you just recently "find religion" now that you're 60ish? I suspect that an Age 60 retirement was just fine for many of you and your peers pursuing this litigation UNTIL it was your time to retire.
Good luck with your litigation. If you guys win by some sort of miracle, I suspect you won't be welcomed with open arms by your peers in the cockpit.....
