Re: Mandatory Retirement to be Eliminated in Parliament

Brick Head You seem so stuck on the idea that having a choice to go past 60 will destroy the present compensation system. The logic is flawed and the math does not follow. With over 3000 pilots, the average age will not change significantly when a few people elect to stay longer. Just as it doesn`t ...

Re: Mandatory Retirement to be Eliminated in Parliament

Just my opinion, but by following the cases, I believe that both groups have won their cases and the remedy phase is in progress. An order for cease and desist is imminent, as is reinstatement for those who have filed cases. I doubt it will apply to anyone who hasn't filed a complaint. I do suspect ...

The Tribunal has a responsibility to protect deferred compensation systems.
I have read and reread the CHRA and cannot find that section of the ACT. I don't believe it has that responsibility. Could you direct us to the exact location of proof for your suggestion?

Re: Mandatory Retirement to be Eliminated in Parliament

60 is not the normal age of retirement in Canada. No other airlines 705,704, or 703 force their people to leave at 60. There are more pilots out there than there are in Air Canada. Even the ones at Jazz go to 65. The first Fly Past 60 guys were hoodwinked by a cunning lawyer with errors (a.k.a. lies...

Re: Mandatory Retirement to be Eliminated in Parliament

What would make good reading is the Mercer Report produced for Air Canada on the Impact of Age 60 pilots remaining. That would be "GOOD READING". The fact that it is not presented in the Tribunals is significant. You can bet that with the hundreds of thousands or even millions being spent to fight a...

Facts: As early as 1986, Canada, having earlier abandoned its National upper age limit on Constitutional grounds, filed a "difference" with ICAO on its age limits, requesting, that the ICAO limits be modified or revoked. ICAO has been looking into increasing age limits ever since. In 1986, the Feder...
