If they require an ATP for employment, I don't see it as age discrimination.
There used to be some regionals that required you to be 21 though, and without any other issues, I saw that as close as you could get to age discrimination.

It's not discrimination, it's just a law that looks bad to those under 23.

I'm at 3500tt, 2500 multi, 1500 PIC with 500 Turbine 121 PIC and an ATP.
I filled out the online app on 11/3/09. I tried calling their HQ to get the name of the pilot recruiter so I didn't have to do "To whom it may concern" on my cover letter, but the operator was very insistent on not giving out the name. So I looked on the website and found the CP's name and addressed it to him.
Any info on the call back process.
