Someone needs to define discrimination
"We're over another hurdle and on to the next hurdle," said Paul Emens, 59, a Southwest Airlines captain who is chairman of Airline Pilots Against Age Discrimination, a group that advocates changing the retirement age for pilots.
Am I the only one who thinks this is the most ridiculous name for a group that supports replacing one mandatory retirement age with another mandatory retirement age and then claims that forcing a pilot to retire just because they reach a predetermined age is discriminatory?

It was only discrimination because everybody else was saying 65. Now that everybody is on the same play book its all good.
That is until somebody comes up and says, wait a minute now, I can work until I die at Walmart, how come I can't do that at the airlines too?"
