Exxon maintained a corporate policy that prohibited its


Exxon maintained a corporate policy that prohibited its pilots from flying corporate aircraft after they reached the age of 60 and forced such pilots to involuntarily retire at age 60. This rule mirrored a rule used by the FAA that applied to pilots flying for commercial airlines. Based on the "age 60 rule", Exxon forced at least three pilots to retire in 2006 and 2007. The EEOC brought suit on behalf of these pilots and others, alleging age discrimination. Exxon argued that the requirement that pilots be under age 60 is a bona fide occupational qualification. Do you agree? Why or why not?
